I’m worried about my new duckling

[rfducky]

Good morning, so I received a new duckling not sure how old it is or the breed. Last night it was running around and seemed fine then all of a sudden it just stopped and looked like it frozen. It wouldn’t move or eat or drink. It also looked like it was leaning to one side and back. It also had this swaying motion. This went on for about 2 hours then it started to walk and move a little and eventually ate and drank. It still has a little bit of the swaying motion though. What could be the reason for this and is it okay or should I take it to a vet?

Do you have a video of the swaying?
