How old is she?
The poor thing looks like she can't walk at all?
Was she vaccinated for Marek's?
How long have you had her?

Crate her with her own food/water and I would start with giving her some vitamins that contain B2 (riboflavin). Poultry Cell is a good choice or you can use human B-Complex (1/4 tablet daily).

I would feel of the legs, joints, etc., for any swelling - just in case this is from injury.
Does she lay eggs? Any bloat or swelling of the abdomen?

She is 5 months old, she is laying eggs, shes eating and drinking.
This chicken is our most curious little girl and always following us . This just happened like over night, it's so weird.
We did crate her because we didn't want the others to pick on her or our roosters to get her.
We bought that b complex stuff and has started on that. No bloating swelling that I See but she is pretty plump. I'll check that tomorrow.
Do you know what it could be?

There are so many things that affect chickens, it's really hard to know.
Marek's does come to mind, but injury is always possible too - how many roosters? Have you noticed if she's been ganged up on?

2 roosters, have not noticed any type of feather loss or signs of bullying. I'm always trying to observe the girls and look over them frequently.
We wont put her back in with the flock until we see improvement, we do not want her to get hurt. What would be the worse scenario?

Not sure how she would get hurt but I suppose it is possible. We have had the flock in the pen the last few days because we have noticed 2 very large Hawks perched over their coop.
