I have two chicks that when laying down continue to curl up their feet. When they are up moving around their feet seem fine. Is this a problem

If they seem to be walking fine then its not a problem. Some of my chicks curl their toes when they lay down to sleep
The chicken in the picture above I had to separate from the other chicks, it’s growing at a slower rate, had a lamp where it wouldn’t walk on one of its legs. It’s not as active as the others. It seems to rely a lot on its wings to stand up. It tends to roll over on its side to lay down instead of sitting. There’s no inflammation in the leg...

Then it could possibly have splayed legs or a slipped tendon. I'm not sure.

This chick can't stand up or walk?
You can try giving her 1/4 tablet B-Complex to see if that makes a difference.
Do you notice if the joints are crooked, twisted or swollen?
