No. Provided the GH, pH and temperature are basically the same, the more water changed the better. Colin already said the same. Fish do not suffer or die from clean water.

Monitor the fish and see what his poop looks like. If it's white and stringy there is a problem.
See if he is eating normally. If he's eating well then he is probably just fat.
If he's not eating and does stringy white poop, then he has an internal infection and is dying.

O ok. What do I have to do if he has an infection?
There's not much you can do if it has an internal bacterial infection. Once the fish does a stringy white poop and stops eating, the internal organs are usually stuffed and the fish normally dies shortly after that.
The fish might have eaten something just before you took the photo. Just monitor it over the next few days and see if it eats.
