Did he make it through the night? or did you put him down?
A couple things that I am thinking.
Because you are saying he seems like he has poor muscle tone and had been loosing weight, I would consider a parasite problem, but just a guess on my part.
Again this is just a guess on my part, but if I gave him grain and he wasn't able to get up, I would have added a teaspoon or two of baking soda to the grain, or drenched him with some baking soda and mollasses to help settle his stomach. His rumen may be having a hard time handling the grain, because number 1, he isn't used to grain and number 2 he isn't able to walk around.
If he is still alive this morning and you are still working with him. I would give him baking soda, in a drench, probably 2 or 3 teaspoons a couple times today.
If he didn't make it, I am sorry, you certainly don't have anything to feel bad about, You tried your best.
Sorry I haven't been checking back on a regular basis, I have a personal thing going on at my home and it has been distracting me. I sure hope you start feeling better soon.
