Sudden changes in salinity are not a good thing. It takes time for animals to adjust to salinity, much like humans need time to adjust to oxygen levels. Basically what you've just done is the equivalent of plunking you on top of Mt. Everest with no extra O2.

Nothing you can really do but ride it out for now. and hope for the best. Fish can usually acclimate fairly easy but you'll just have to give it time. In the future work up your salinity by 0.001-0.015 at a time with several water changes.

What was your salinity pre and post water change?
