Your post has upset me. :(
Freezer Moving Instructions
Please use the following steps when relocating an upright or chest freezer:
[LIST=1]
Disconnect the power cord from the wall receptacle.
Remove the food, defrost, and clean the freezer.
Use blankets to protect the freezer finish from scratches.
Place the freezer on its side for moving only if you have no other choice.
When transporting a freezer, keep it in an upright position. If transporting it in an upright position is not possible, lay it down on the compressor side of the unit. Be careful to secure the door to prevent it from opening.
If it has been transported on its side, set it right side up in its final location and allow the freezer to sit for an amount of time that is about 24 hrs. Do not plug the unit into the electrical receptacle without allowing this settling time. The unit can be damaged if it is plugged in prematurely.[/LIST]
If the unit was transported in an upright position there is no waiting time required.
Your freezer is most probably junk now. The compressor has oil inside it and if it runs too soon after laying it down, that oil will be forced up the lines blocking them. At the very least restricting them.
