I don’t like the looks of this....

If I candle it, am I putting the other eggs at risk since they are in lockdown?
No.
Just in case this egg is still good...Keep it in the exact same position that it's in right now when you take it out.
Be quick but steady... Don't rotate the egg around.
 
Okay I candled. I didn’t wait haha. Not sure why it’s dark there. I can see the air cell still and the duckling moving around below the air cell/dark area.
Great.
It's alive.
Leave it alone.

What is your humidity level at and do you have a salt tested humidity gauge in your incubator?
 
It looks like a bruise, it probably pipped a small vein and bled a little. Or it could be you seeing a dark duckling through the shell. I've had black ducklings that I could see through the shell once they internally pip.
