How do I make it drink

You can take a dropper or something that leaves a drop at a time. Drip it on its bill and let it roll down the bill. It should flow the drip into its mouth. Do this slowly a drip every so often (not constant drips) because you do not want the duckling to aspirated.

Please check its legs and feet for any swollen and/or warmer areas. You might want to check the vent as well.

I'm using my finger

Can an overdose of calcium do this? My brother fed the ducklings laying food for a week and I just switched them off today/yesterday but idk if that's the case cuz when I got out the shower I found a ducking sitting on my ducklings neck/back

Whatever works That will actually give you more control, so that's perfect! Make sure you do this slowly. They can't handle a constant drip, especially whenever they're weak.

You can try a wet cloth in a pinch, I think, to drip water into its beak.
