Hello, sorry to hear you're having trouble with your duckling. Could you answer a few additional questions?
Where did you acquire the duckling?
What have you been feeding it as a main source of food?
It is producing droppings at all, if so, could you post a few pictures of those?
Regardless of the problem, the first, step with all young birds should be addressing the temperature in their pen. At their age, they lack enough feathers to maintain thermoregulation so they can become hypothermic easily, particularly when not eating as that decreases the amount of metabolic output they can produce.
I suggest you add a heating pad, or a heat lamp near the pen to get the temperature higher, but if you do see the duckling panting, or has its body stretched out, you'll want to lower the temperature a bit. To help maintain her hydration levels, drip a few drops of an electrolyte such a Gatorade, or one specifically formulated for poultry such as Sav-A-Chick along her bill often. After, try offering some mashed scrambled eggs, or a warm soupy mash of her feed and see if she'll take to any of that.
