They could be suffering from shipping stress, whiich can include overheating or chilling, dehydration, or rough handling. Keep them warm but not too warm, and give electrolytes and vitamins in their water by dipping their beaks into the water. Products such as Poultry Nutri-drench, Poultry Cell, or SaveAChick are very good. Tonight if you can until you can get those, put a tsp of sugar and a tiny pinch of salt in a liter of water, and give drinks as often as possible.

To all the chicks or just those 2 BTW the one who could not be is better and can see and is running around but the other one is very inactive won't even get up anymore... cuz it keeps tripping on its new cast

You can give it to all the chicks.

Did you splint/cast the chick for splay leg? Any photos?
The one in the cast/splint may be exhausted, so make sure it is getting water (vitamin water) and some wet chick starter or egg if it will eat.
