The energy will go down because the energy keeps getting stored in the cells of the plants
or animal that has the energy, so when an other animal eats that plant or animal it gets less of the energy the other creature has.
An energy pyramid starts at the bottom with a producer. This is it's widest point, because it has the most energy.
the energy amount increases as other organisms eat other organizms.
Energy can be lost in a food chain by heat or waste.
It depends on the activity of the animal in question but it is usually around 10%.
The amount of energy in food is measured in kilojoules (kL)

The energy flux of a food chain goes from producer to decomposer. The energy flux along the food chain is always unilateral.
The number of links in a food chain is limited by the amount of available energy. As energy is transferred up the food chain, only about 10% is passed on to the next level. This inefficiency limits the number of trophic levels that can be sustained in a food chain.
The decomposers at the bottom of the food chain have the least amount of energy because they rely on breaking down dead organic matter to obtain nutrients. These organisms play a vital role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.

the energy amount increases as other organisms eat other organizms.
The energy stored in food is lost as heat during metabolism, movement, and other activities by the organism. This limits the amount of energy that can be passed on to the next organism in the food chain. As a result, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level, leading to a decrease in available energy as you move up the food chain.
how is the energy in a food chain different form the energy of the wind?
