How long have you had her? She might have been injured, since there is some swelling in the leg, but hard to know exactly what is going on with her. Mareks disease is sometimes a possibility, but injuries or perhaps a stuck egg could also cause a temporary paralysis. I would first check her for a stuck egg by inserting a clean or gloved finger into her vent. Then make her comfortable in a basket or crate near food and water. B complex vitamins 1/4 tablet daily given orally might be of benefit. That can help with a riboflavin deficiency. Has she laid eggs recently? If she is egg bound, then giving a human calcium tablet with D3 would be helpful. Calcium citrate with D is best, but other calcium or Tums is acceptable. Check her crop as well, since it looks a bit enlarged.

She's laying eggs had her for about 1 and a half years over night she's now out side in a pen warm and she can hop on 1 leg the other leg is still hanging she laid a eggs this morning and her crop is emptying
 
It sounds like she is doing better. I suspect probably a sprain. Could she have jumped from a high place? Been chased by an animal or aerial predator and run into the wall?
Might have but she has no feeling in one foot and it's all floppy we don't really have any predators except for cats but cats are scared of our house as they get chased away by chickens or duck I was maybe thinking she got stung by a bee wasp or honne bee
