I have my chicken Teagan and she has been outside today it was about 86 degrees fahrenheit. My sister brought her inside while I was out because she would not stand and when I got home not much time after she brought her inside and I gave her some wet cat food, water with sugar, and electrolytes. We put a fan on her she has eaten cat food and water. I also will be on a trip tomorrow😬. Does anybody have an idea of what it could be or how to treat it?

How old is she?

Have you looked her over for injury and bruising?
What does her crop feel like?
When was her last egg?
Any lice or mites on her?

I'd continue to keep her hydrated.
She is 3
and she appears to have no injury
her crop feels slightly large but not really anything to worty about to much
she generally doesn’t lay eggs
and from what I can tell there are no mites or lice
 
How is she doing?

Is she pooping? What's that like?

She may have suffered from heat exhaustion or there may be something else going on if she's not laying eggs at the age of 3. Reproductive disorders can be a common cause of decline. Worms may be part of the problem.

I'm unclear on your assessment of the crop. Is it emptying overnight or not? Check it first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat or drink all night long, if it's still large and not empty, then it is a symptom that is worth worrying about.
