According to Gaiman: "The reason the Endless didn't free him isn't because they weren't aware of the situation, but because they aren't a superteam; rushing to the rescue isn't what they're about.
Dream is without question one of the strongest characters in The Sandman universe thanks to his powerful and varied abilities and also because he is more than willing to act on his power. Dream is so powerful that he is even willing to venture into Hell itself to confront Lucifer Morningstar when the need arises.
The Endless are also forbidden from spilling their family's blood. If they break these rules, they risk their own destruction.

Gaiman offered another explanation in The Sandman Companion for none of the other Endless being willing to rescue Dream: his pride. Gaiman reasoned that they all knew Dream well enough to predict that he wouldn't have been grateful for their aid.
