Does orchiectomy of one testis due to torsion decrease or kill fertility and testostrerone because it's been a month and i feel no difference at all?

No: Your fertility should not be significantly affected, and the remaining testicle should be able to produce adequate amounts of testosterone.

Should be fine: You only need one functioning testicle for normal fertility and testosterone levels.
