Baby rooster suddenly not using leg

[ElfenLied89]

Incubated and hatched this little man. Yesterday he was fine and running with the others. Today I go out there and he is limping and having trouble getting around. He is a barnyard mix around 7 weeks old. Just now growing his little wattles. I have included pics. No cuts, swelling, or pain it seems. Gave him food and water. He is chirpy and happy. Even let me carry him and pick his booty up when he usually gives me side eye lol.

Anyone know what could cause the right leg to just not work? Both wings are fine. Left leg is fine. Right leg just isn't working. Please help me out chicken fam!

Could he have gotten frostbite or otherwise injured the leg? To me it looks like the bad leg is dead.

He is a black and pink baby. His legs are normal color that I can tell.

Anyone have any idea what is wrong? He can move his leg at the top part, can bend his foot, but not the knee joint much or his little toes.
