Probably poor water quality. Check ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH of water.

Post pictures of the fish.

Fish have a thin layer of clear mucous over their body and fins. When they are stressed out they produce more mucous and it can appear as cream or white patches/ film over their body.

Do a 75% water change and gravel clean the substrate every day for a week and see if t helps.
Make sure any new water is free of chlorine/ chloramine before it's added to the tank.
