White diarrhea is not good. Take it out from the others and isolate it. ASAP.

When you realize they are sick it is an emergency, they hide any sickness.

Good plan, AArt is very experienced with chickens, I have had parrots since I had to give up chickens in the '90s. ALL birds hide any illness. White, runny poop is BAD!

Who is Aart? Should I be looking for an antibiotic? I picked up a vitamin powder and also a vitamin grit that you mix in with th hair food. I'm hoping she will survive this

Good to keep crate in with flock.

and....
If limp is really bothering them by inhibiting their normal activities too much, I will isolate them in a crate to 'force' rest for a day or two. Letting them out late in day, an hour before roost time, to give them a stretch and evaluate their mobility, then decide if they need another day and put them back in crate off roost after dark. Repeat stretch and eval the next day until they are better. Keep crate in coop so bird can remain 'with' the flock.
