There are onli two reasons your silverbeet has fallen down like that the first one would be not enough water dig some of the soil up around them and see how moist it is sometimes soil looks lovely and wet on the surface but is dry as a bone 15cm down the second reason is that they have completed there life cycle and are dying naturally. You didnt say how long they have been in for but if its more than six months then there done and need replacing.
