Do you have any exercise bands? If so, stretch them out to get your arms moving. Look up band exercises. There are ones you can do sitting down.
Maybe set your timer and stand up and walk around for several minutes, maybe even 1 minute, then work up from there. Just the act of standing burns calories. Maybe try to lift your legs one at a time while seated. This can strengthen them.
If you google exercises for morbidly obese you might find some suggestions.
Best wishes.

At 370 pounds, I tried chair yoga. I could only do the arm stuff; my legs were too big to do any of the lower body stuff. Don't be discouraged if you are the same. The upper body stuff helps. I couldn't comfortable sit on a folding chair.
I was thinking of finding tai chi online, but haven't done so yet. I figure I can just do what I can with it.
IF you could get to a pool, that would be great, especially if you could get it as physical therapy.
Another thing I do is lay on my side in bed and do leg lifts; started with 2 and worked up from there.
