Answer
Hi Rose,
Sounds like you have goldfish eggs for sure! It's possible that the lifeless fish are young fry that are in the process of absorbing their yolk sacs which they primarily will remain motionless during that process that typically lasts a couple of days. When they become free-swimming that's when they must be fed. This article may help on goldfish fry care if you are interested in raising them-
