Like you can see its bendt inwards but she walks without trouble and jumps up on high places

It's probably been that for awhile, maybe from she was born.
As long as she doesn't care, there no reason to worry. She's likely not in pain.
She's likely too old for it to be fixed.
Make sure she's getting proper nutrition.

It looks more like varus deformity.

@Eggcessive can probably help more.

Make sure she can reach her food and water. Feed her soft, wet chicken feed and a little bit of cooked egg each day. You can also give her 1/4 of a Super B Complex vitamin tablet daily, but make sure she mainly eats balanced chick feed.

Unless @Eggcessive says something else.

Just normal chicken feed that's targeted for her age.
I don't know if it will get worse, as long as she acts fibe, I wouldn't worry.

Unfortunately it does look like valgus leg deformity, and that is a permanent untreatable leg problem. Many chickens with varus or valgus may get along okay as long as they can get enough food and water.
