The baby Chick is probably a week and half its not eating and not walking I have no experience in chick raising it was okay yesterday day but i cant walk now and very week and wasn't drinking i tried to water it and its drinking on its on and moving very weekly but not eating at all and the stool is runny and greenish i don't know what to do
 
Did you dip it's beak in food? it may not know where the food is.

Does it's neck look like it's star gazing? (star grazing condition/ wryneck)

Are it's legs doing a split? --- spraddle leg (I think thats the name)

I see you are new to BYC, (and this is not an attack, I had problems at first lol) you might have more answers in the "emergencies, Diseases, injuries and cures." section.

Welcome To BYC

I'm sorry your chick is not doing well.

Where are you located in the world?
Can you post some photos of the chick and poop?
How warm is your brooder?

Any swelling of the leg joints?
How does the chick's crop feel?

Look to make sure the vent is not pasted over. If you have any Poultry Nutri-Drench give the chick 2-3 drops orally twice a day. Do what you can to get your chick hydrated.
At 1 1/2wks, Coccidiosis may be a problem, do you have any Corid on hand?

What are you feeding the chick?
Is your temperature warm where you are right now?
This is the only chick you have?

I would provide the chick with soaked or very mushy feed. If you are feeding grains, then the chick needs a source of grit (crushed granite, small hard rock, etc.) to process the food, if not, then it can get a blockage.

Try getting the chick hydrated. You can give it drops of plain water or add a little bit of sugar to the water.
