Welcome to the forum!
I don't have experience with duck eggs, I just want to say good luck! I hope a few of them hatch

Awe thanks I need it I think there’s only a couple

A candler can be a flashlight (which is what I use) but I get the most powerful LED flashlight I can and then remove the lens so the egg can sit down closer to the light and not allow light to escape.
However, there are devices known as candlers or you can build one DIY.

So question is it supposed to be like fluid inside or no and why is it so dark

It's dark because the light can't go "through" the duckling. The fluid is likely because there is still some growing space left. Over the next few days, that "fluid" space should fill with duckling. You also may not see as much movement now, simply because the poor little bugger is so cramped in there!
This is so exciting! I hope you get a couple - at least - healthy babies out of this. Years ago, I used to raise Mallards. The babies are so darned cute I can't stand it!
