Either. Paralyse (English) Paralyze (American).
Always paralyse in British spelling, always paralyze in the USA.
As you have spelt (spelled) immobilise with a "zed/zee", I suspect that you require the American "paralyze" here.
Actually the ending 'ize' is more correct. It was originally such in UK English but for some reason mutated to 'ise'.
Jackdaw, the OED insists yze in Britain is wrong: it's one of comparatively few words where the spelling isn't optional.
