Chicken fell in water, legs won't move

[WoolyMantis]

We came home to find our 12 week old boy in one of our large tubs of water, looks like a sheep knocked their door open somehow and he got out. he could have been in there for up to 3 hrs as that's the last time I checked on him. We toweled him off and put him in our now empty brooder in our sunroom with a 250watt heat bulb above him, high above him as it's so warm. He was chirping like crazy but has calmed down and I have him propped up in a large bowl with a towel since he is not using his legs. Any suggestions, he's dry now but still doesn't seem able to move his legs. The heat lamp is high up in one corner and there's plenty of space for him to move away if it gets too hot but I'm wondering if I should keep it on all night or not.

Leaving him like that all night would make him very hot i would use blow dryer to get his feathers warm
