My turtle fell from a 4 storied building

my turtle somehow climbed out of his tank, slipped through the net and climbed out of the balcony and fell. I started looking for him since I couldn't find him. I went down immediately when I saw him from my balcony. He had moved a little from the place I saw him from the balcony.

I couldn't see any major injuries, his shell was fine. The lower side of all four of his arms was slightly reddish. I immediately put him in water. He is moving just fine but isn't active like he always his. He is moving around more now compared to earlier. There was no blood in the water either. I can't see any injuries on the outside just that he doesn't seem active all usual. Does he have any broken bones or internal injuries?

I can't take him to the vet immediately. there aren't any turtle vets in my area and I also have exams going on. I'll have to wait until my dad comes home. what should I do? I am really panicking.

TL;DR My turtle fell from a 4th floor I don't know what to do?

P.S: he is 6 months old (red eared slider) and 2.3 inches big.
