No, Neptune axis of rotation, like that of Earth is basically at right angles to the plane of the ecliptic (the plane in which the planets rotate round the sun).
It is Uranus that has a unique configuration among the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane the ecliptic, (i.e. its north and south poles lie where most other planets have their equators).

Does Neptune rotate vertically or horizontally?
Neptune rotates horizontally on its axis, like most other planets in our solar system. Its axis is tilted at about 28.32 degrees relative to the plane of its orbit around the Sun, causing it to have seasons similar to Earth.
How many days does it take Neptune to rotate on it's axis?
It takes roughly 6.4 Earth days for Neptune to rotate on it's axis.
How many planet days does it take Neptune to rotate on its own axis?
Neptune takes about 16 hours (0.67 Earth days) to rotate once on its axis.
What time is needed for Neptune to rotate on its axis?
16 hours
How long does it take neptune rotate around the sun?
about 164 years
