Limping duck

I agree, that there is some mild Bumblefoot going on, but In my opinion, I doubt its the "sole" cause of the limp given the slight progression of the Bumble, I'd also be more inclined to think that way, if the limping was very sudden.

To treat the Bumble, soak her feet in Epsom salt for as long as you can stand (Make sure she doesn't drink the water since Epsom Salts will cause diarrhea if ingested), once the core is loosened up, secure her with a towel, take a sharp scalpel and a pair of tweezers and gently try to get the black core out(many videos online regarding this). Once the core is out, apply an antibacterial ointment, bandage the foot, and keep her off of anything really dirty until its healed. While a lot of the times bumblefoot can't be prevented, its always a good idea to look up the possible causes, and try to better prevent it from happening again.

Ok, as for the leg. Does it feel warm? Was it sudden?

Where can I buy a sharp scalpel?

I'd just keep of anything too rough (Which will coincide with the Bumble Treatment) hopefully its just a minor sprain of sorts and it'll resolve itself over time. Water therapy and B vitamins may help too.

Describe water therapy and B vitamins - is WT epsom salt baths? Swimming in the pool? I’m already feeding Brewer’s Yeast in their regular feed, does she need more of that or something else?

Water Therapy would include providing or letting her in deep plain clean water so she can relive the weight of her legs. B vitamins might include adding nutritional yeast, B complex, or a poultry vitamin to her water/feed.
