It might shrink as it grows up but it might get worse.
Could it cause any other issues?
Should I see a vet or not?

Did this hatch on its own in an incubator or was it assisted out of the egg?

oh no! I do not have ducks, but have taken care of them. the only thing ill say is make sure it is not getting pecked and keep it cleaned out. (keep poop, straw, food, etc. Out)

Hatched in the incubator. Literally just hatched so it has had no chance of getting damaged. Only had to help it a tiny bit - did most of the hatched itself.
