It it's been in that position all day, its chances aren't good. You can try bringing it out and giving it a bit of Nutri-drench or Save-a-chick with a pipette or dropper.

Tbh it probably won’t make it, and if it was mine I wouldn’t open the incubator and jeopardize the rest for it.
If you’re dead set on trying to save it, I would quickly and carefully remove it before more hatch, because you don’t want them popping the yolk remaining. Does it look like it’s opening and closing it’s mouth almost like gasping? I believe they do this to absorb the yolk, but there’s a similar movement they do when they’re so far gone, all but basic life support has stopped, it’s hard to spot the difference.
Once removed from the bator you’ll want to try to get it to consume some nutrients. I’ll usually mix some sugar water with some nutridrench, and I’ll sprinkle some feed Ive ground to powder, just a sprinkle so it’s like broth, don’t change the thickness of the water. I usually use a small juice box straw to offer tiny drops every 45 mins to an hour until it starts getting stronger and trying to get around. Then I swap to about every 2 hours and every 4 hours at night.
it will probably have other issues from being frozen in this pose, youre looking at probable curled toes and possible wry neck. If you didn’t have many hatch, you can definitely try to save it, but if you have a lot, it might be overwhelming to deal with this because it will not be a fast fix, it will be at least several days of care if it even survives. Birds cast a wide net, they lay a ton of eggs, and most don’t make it to raise their own young in nature. Sometimes there’s nothing you can do.

You helped it out of the egg?
