I had an older hen last year that suddenly went paralyzed like your hen. She would lay on her side like yours.
I put her in one of my hutches so she was protected and in a quiet place. I put some drops of liquid vitamin supplement down her throat for 3 days, and noticed on day four she had her legs back under her. She did not eat much of her food during that time, but I scrambled her a couple eggs and she gulped it down. In a couple weeks she was pacing the cage wanting out.
Now she is fine. I still dont know what it was.

wow thats so interesting thank you i may have some hope now, i'm glad your hen got better. May i know which vitamins you gave her? i also struggle giving them supplements should i use a syringe? i’ll also try the egg meal

what really worries me thought is that her comb has gotten really pale as well
