6 week old lame overnight. Help?

Only a vet can tell you. It may not be any of what you mention but vitamins can not hurt.

Update:
Finally found an exotic animal vet who would look at her. She suspects she has broken knees. Can't tell without a $150 X-ray. The vet doubts that she will ever recover and walk, though we should know by 4 weeks. So... Observing for several weeks as we give her anti-inflammatory meds, swim therapy and rest. She is quickly becoming more of a pet than livestock for the children, which would make putting her down very difficult. yet we need to consider quality of life for her.
Any encouraging recovery stories? Tips for recovery?

Could one of the kids accidentally dropped her? Bless her heart at this point all you can do is try and hope it’s enough. I hope it is.

I'm relatively sure she was hurt in the 4 am stampede when they knocked over their water dispenser and freaked out. Five teen ducks in a small pool/brooder should be fine overnight, but they truly stampede around in circles when they are scared. I think she had already injured herself outdoors (came in with a limp) and they just ran over her when they got scared. We were out for the evening for a wedding rehearsal and were woken at 4am by hysterical quacking.
The current plan is to continue to nourish and rest and allow swim practice several times a day. And reevaluate in a few weeks.

Best you can do. Hope she recovers completely they are amazing at how well they can.
