Thank you for your question and picture of your tree. It appears that it is Colorado blue spruce. If you want to save it, I would call a certified arborist in your area. Here is a list for you:

To save your tree, you will need to upright it without disturbing any roots or soil around it. Your tree may be too large to straighten upright:

Colorado blue spruce is very susceptible to diseases including needle cast disease caused by a fungus. It certainly looks like your tree is infected since it starts from the ground and moves up the spruce tree. I have had personal experience with this and have trimmed the tree from the base on up.
Good luck with your tree and hope you find a solution.
