Do you have a ladder into the lake?

Make sure you can see a path for them to go out, it might have been blocked by scaffolding or whatever other reason; there should be stairs or a ladder to get them out.

You can also try to force an action on them, they might be idle because they have nothing to do. Do they try to get out if they’re hungry / sleepy?

a thing to craft then I tried to reasign him and by now he is starving.

You need to build a ladder up to land so he can climb out
