My first and only hatch was like that, cant stand up for a few hours. You need to place him in some kind of nest shape material, so he is supported on the side in the upright position, otherwise he will just struggle to stand up and lose all the energy he still has.
In my case, I also forced the chick to eat by holding a dish of crushed feed and hold up against his beak. If he does not eat, he won't be able to make it. Once he starts eating, even if he can not stand up for now, he eventually will.
My chick is now 2 weeks old and other than one eye is blind, it is very healthy. Jumps high, eats lot, and poops lot.
