Answer
Hi Smeeha,

Your water temperature is MUCH TOO HOT.  It needs be about 75 degrees, with a BASKING (land area; warm spot) of 88-90 degrees.  Measure the basking temperature right under the bulb to make sure it's not too warm (not air temperature).  Your turtle is inactive because it's overheated.  If the tank is very small, this could prove rapidly fatal.  PLEASE get the temperature down right away!

A map turtle requires a large tank--about 100 gallons for an adult, with filtration and good UVB, as well as basking heat.  They also need a diet that includes animal protein and greens.

So first of all, get the heat down in the tank; then read the information linked below very carefully and make any other changes necessary for your turtle's health.  If you have any questions, post back and I'll do my best to help.
