You should take a sample of your water to a local pet store and have them test your water for you. I wonder if your tank was cycled or not.
Are there any other fish in the tank? How long has be been acting weird and had that white film on his scales?
Any other odd behavior from the goldfish? Does the film look like a slime coating or like salt covering the body?
Sounds like ammonia/nitrite problems but usually by that point they are showing other symptoms that are bigger concerns.
Pictures would probably help.

How do I post a pic? I'm new. I noticed the what looks like a film on the scales & the droopy fin just this morning. Had them for 3 wks tomorrow. The other fish is fine. I'm thinking constipated?
What is the temperature of your tank?
