I purchased 2 identical trees which I planted at similar times. 1 is flourishing while the other one is doing nothing as mentioned above
Unfortunately, it may be quite difficult to amend an area to be less saturated once a tree is established. You can try adding earthworms, compost, and other ingredients that help take up moisture. Here are some articles that will help:

I gifted this weeping cherry to my mother about 15+years ago. Although sparse, it had been growing steadily and has always been healthy. About two weeks a large branch from the neighbors fence line broke off during a bad wind. This is the tree today. Any chance to save it by pruning with anticipation of new growth in spring? Please ignore that I haven’t cleaned up the broken branch as I’ve been lame and unable to do yard work. -Le B
Saving the tree, really, depends on if the tree is still alive or not. If you scratch bark and see green then you have a chance. This cannot be controlled by your are anyone else, though. With proper care the tree may be able to survive, but this is no guarantee. These articles will help:

um eating the leaves during the winter I have been liquid feeding the trees What can I do? Please help I am a person who cares and loves her garden
I can't tell if it's in a pot or in the ground, but weeping cherry trees in containers don't live as long as those planted in the ground. The lack of blossoms is usually an environmental issue, such as a drought or late spring freeze. Make sure the tree is still getting good light and is watered when rainfall is lacking. You can also check for pests on the tree. Pruning dead and diseased wood will invigorate the tree and may help. Also make sure it is not getting excessive nitrogen, which will sacrifice blooms.

It lost its leaves early last year. This would be its 8th year.
It does sound like there may be an issue. I wouldn't discount the tree just yet. They should start showing signs around the end of April into may, so it could still be trying to break dormancy. I would snap a twig on the tree and make sure that it has some give to it. Green can indicate a living branch, as well. If all branches are brittle, then it may be a lost cause.

weeping cherry:1. 2 or hard frosts this winter 2. also 4-5 70* days in March 3, body of tree appeaers to be dead no blooms 4. very top of tree has a few green leaves and trunk has some sprouts
This can be quite complicated, as there are many factors that can contribute to this issue. Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to rule anything out, or narrow it down to anything specific. This seems like some sort of disease, however. The sucker formation near the base is likely due to stress. I would not let that grow, since it is likely the root stock of a different tree in the same genus.
Treatment will depend on the specific disease. This might be best diagnosed with your local extension service:

Hello there...we bought a Prunus yedoensis Ivensii Patio Tree tree in March 2023 and its come on in leaps and bounds, however this year, the branches are turning more towards the sky instead of "weeping" which is why we bought it. Can you help as to why?
Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to see the issue in question. If the tree was heavily pruned, then it could have shot up suckers from the root stock of the tree. Essentially, these are a completely different tree than the top grafted portion. Usually, specialized specimens are grafted to more vigorous root stocks to promote faster growth. If the tree is under stress, then it can send up suckers from the root stock. Since these are likely an upright variety they will look like the bottom tree.

I see! Thank you for the photo. I can get a better look. It could be one of two things. Or a combination. This site needs, at least, 6-8 hours of full sun. Lack of sun may cause stretching upwards. Another thing to consider is the age of the tree. It is still pretty young. This small of a tree may take some time to develop growth heavy enough to droop.
It does look like the original tree, and not the root stock coming up.
