If you can somehow lift up each corner enough to carefully block it up a bit, with padding of course, what about getting under there with some 2 X 10's running the full length or width, and then lift it further and place several 4 wheel dollys under it. If you can do that, you could carefully roll it outside to give access to a crane of some kind.
Hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like it is laying on something. If you could use a lever and fulcrum method, you may be able to get it up far enough to get the aforementioned blocks under the corners. I have picked up some extremely heavy objects laying flat on concrete using this method. One has to get creative here. Even using a carpenters crowbar to get it started perhaps. Only thing is to make sure the prying is done on something solid like the jacks so you don't further damage it.

First I'd empty it out and retract the jacks. How much does it weigh empty? I'm guessing 1500# or so. In which case 6 strong guys ought to be able to tip it back onto its bottom.

I would empty it out. lower the jacks. then use a floor jack and lift, block with bales of hay, reset jack and lift again. put bales on underside to keep it from rolling over the other way, then slowly let that side down.

I already have emptied it out and do plan on taking off the jacks on the bottom side. Its basically flat on its side. I don't want to lift it with the ceiling of the shed its just not strong enough. I have already talked to the local towing company they would bring a winch and all the rigging out but dint have much for an idea. I am as worried about slowing it down once it starts to go back over as how to lift it. They insurance adjuster was out last week He was glad He is not allowed to tell me who to have do the work because I don't think he knew of any one in the area that would be able to set it up. Thanks for the ideas.
takeing off the jacks and getting a bunch of people to pick it up on one side to stand it back upright is a good idea,the beams over head could be braced with 4x4 to make it strong enought to lift it up is another.

I've moved portable 10 X 12' buildings by myself from the ground up on a trailer and unloaded again. I used to PU and deliver 20' and 40' shipping containers with a flat bed trailer. This looks worse than it is.
Crank up RS jacks, remove LF jack. It should rock back over to a 45* angle without too much pushing. Once you have it setting at a 45* angle sitting on LS bottom rail and bottom a lot of the weight will transfer to the RS. Stack hay bales under RS to cushion the landing. The trick is to use cribbing as you go to hold what you have if you need to jack it. Three guys should be able to push it from the 45* position. Be sure to move with the door CLOSED!!!
