It sounds a bit long to still be sulking, however by changing the substrate you may and upset the balance of the tank and the oscar that isnt eating may be being bullied. Any injuries? Try rearranging the decor in the tank

Another thing you can try different foods like maggots, worms, insects etc

Can you test the water for ammoinia, nitrite and nitrate and post the actual results please

delboy got you covered.
I only had my o stay in one place of the tank for prolongued periods, due to being bullied by my vieja.
After rehoming the vieja, he immediately changed his behaviour.
