first of all.. breathe.. !

second..
what TIME was WC?
is the behavior out of line for them?
What % WC is Normal, was it this time?
What Water Conditioner did you use?
did you add anything else?
What size are the discus?
How Long has your tank been setup?
Barebottom or substrate?
what is your filteration?

start by answering those questions.. before somebody can help.. ok.. :antlers:

water parameters are also necessary.

Did you add a chlorine remover? if not please do so ASAP. If you did check the temp. Im assuming that your tank is cycled rite? If not well you pretty much know whats wrong. Perhaps it could be a spike in water temp change chances are they will make it but it does add alot of stress. In addition inorder to reduce some stress you might want to turn the tank light out this is going to be tempting since I understand that you might want to keep an eye on the fish's behavior, but do them a favor and let them settle. In addition if you seem to resolve your problems, start doing water changes more frequently so that they may adjust to this, will greatly help in the long run, as I usually change 40-50% of water every 2 days. Please note that I am no expert but well I wanted to help the most I could.:)

looks to have had fish awhile so thinking something is off in his/her water. He/she needs to check that pronto along side remembering if they used prime.

Not sure how long everyone is going to be up waiting for more info, so I'm going to make one blind suggestion. I doubt seriously this is the root of your problem, but I'd try adding some extra air to the tank. There almost certainly is something else going on, but an extra airstone might help in the recovery process, and it certainly can't hurt.
