what should i do, beta fish on side- help ?

You should only feed peas when you think they are consipated.
When you changed the water, was it 100% change? If so, that shocked him. I assume your talking about a betta in a bowl...not the idea place. Bettas need heaters with temps around 78-80 degrees F. to be happy. People say bettas are lazy but I've got three, all in heated tanks and are very active! I think its the change in water..you need to get a tank with a heater and gentle filter for you fish to be happy and healthy. Right now it doesn't sound good.

my beta fish is very week right now
i change the water and the fish turned to the side flat
i give it a pea but the fish is so weak to eat the pea
the pea keeps going down when i put it in

what should i do?
before i put more water and the conditioner i the fish was kind of bended and not moveing much
i have been noteing the fish has not been much in the last 3 days
yesterday i gave him food he was very slow to get it
and today after puting in the water and conditioner the fish is going flat and then normal every 5 min i think

you can try to put aquarium salt in the water to help reduce any stress

you're not doing anything wrong.. but it may just be your fish's time.

be sure he's at a good temperature (like 74-77), and out of direct sunlight.

betta's are notoriously lazy fish, but again, it may just be his time!!

sorry!! <3 good luck!
