I'd say it's the injury then. But putting the duckling on a good poultry vitamin sure won't hurt. If you have a TSC there is Poultry Nutri drench.
But Possibly it could have injured it's hip maybe popped it's hip out of socket something that could be over looked since we're not vets. Can you actually gently pull the ducklings legs straight or is the one leg always crossed over even if you try to pull it straight? .I agree if at all possible getting a avian vet to take a look would be best especially since the duckling is still young.
Crossed over from knee to foot makes me think there may have been a break that you just couldn't feel.
