It’s crazy because he was completely fine last night. Unfortunately I don’t have enough water on hand to qt him right now and my lfs is closed today. I do have some garlic on hand that I was going to feed the tank with until tomorrow. Good/bad idea?

Ich is now in your tank and it will be there pretty much forever unless you run it fallow and QT all your fish for at least a 10 weeks. You will also need to up the flow in the main tank and routinely direct flow into low-to-no-flow zones.
Option #2 is you live with it in your main tank and manage the disease. This is the option most people go with once ich hits their tank. This typically involves adding a quality UV to the tank, keeping the params stable and feeding a quality diet. Some dose CP in a QT tank if a fish has a particularly nasty outbreak for a few days.
