Welcome to BYC- sorry to hear about your duckling.
Do you think you could snap a few pictures of the duckling, and post a few here?

There are various causes of wry neck, but a good place to often begin treatment is to start the bird on vitamins, specifically vitamin E, and thiamine. I would pick up vitamin E 400iu soft gel capsules, and try to get a few drops in the duckling daily; in addition, I would try to give a product high in thiamine (B1).
Mashed scrambled eggs would also be a good choice to help correct any other nutritional deficits. I would stop offering the oats, and only offer duckling feed as the main feed source.
You may find it necessary to directly offer the duckling feed daily, and dip its bill in water.
