Some creatures do play dead but I don't believe Oscars will do this. Water changes can often be quite a traumatic time. You should be checking to make sure there isn't too much of a fluctuation in water temperature. Not too much disturbance when the water goes back into the tank. It is not uncommon for a Oscar to behave strangely after a water change. However, this behaviour shouldn't carry on for too long. If it does, the first thing to do is the water test as has already been suggested.

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved
