PLEASE HELP 6 week duckling fell and landed on her neck with head tucked

I am not familiar with ducks, but hopefully the duck is not injured seriously.
Thank you for replying. She does seem a little better now, I'm just going to keep a very close eye on her for the next few days and see how she goes
 
They tend to be pretty durable at that age . I raise baby wood ducks and they are known to jump from 50' up in the nest cavity to the ground just after they hatch but the woodland ground can be covered with moss or leaves that makes for a softer landing .
Thank you, she does seem to be ok, just a little quiet. I think she probably was a little cold after her swim as it's been a bit cooler today. She settled down a bit after she was back under the lamp.
 
Just wanted to add a quick update. Nelson was a bit quiet last night and has a bit of tenderness on her left wing but seems absolutely fine otherwise. Thank you all for you support and information, I’d be truly lost without everyone on here!
