You're pictures did post Teagan. I do think you should make a post in the emergency forum. But I'll tag a few people who may be able to help with your chick.

Hello, Taegan, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I'm so sorry about the chick. If it were mine, I would euthanize. I don't believe it will have a quality life on those legs. And that is the the outward deformity you can see. You don't know what other defects it hatched with. I'm sorry.
If you go that route, here are two articles you can read:

Welcome to BYC! I'm sorry to hear about your chick. This type of deformity will be hard for the chick to thrive with. If you are okay with a special needs chicken for life and it doesn't seem to be suffering, then there is a chance that you can raise it with time and patience, but it will always need lots of special attention if it pulls through. Many decide to euthanize as a more humane option.
