It's a fairly common disease in young aquatics. You can crush up the cuttlebone, but unless he's got adequate Vit D3 (from a UVB light and diet), he won't be able to absorb the calcium.
MBD is painful and lethal if not treated.
How big is your turtle (shell length without the curve) and what are you feeding him, how much and how often? Does he have a UVB light?
