@Wyorp Rock could this be wry neck? I don't know it well enough to spot it

It looks like wry neck a neurological symptom that can be seen with vitamin deficiency, head injury, genetics, and is sometimes seen. With certain diseases, such as Mareks and a few others. Most people treat with human vitamin E 400 IU daily along with 1/4 tablet of B complex for thiamine, and a little bit of cooked egg for selenium. Separate if necessary, and feed several times a day by holding water snd feed mixed with water and egg up to the beak. It can take day or weeks to see improvement.

Oh no! It looks like wry neck to me, but I'm by no means an expert. Eggcessive, Azygous, and Wyorp Rock are probably the ones who can help the most. I hope she'll be ok!

I agree, try the vitamins and see if it helps.

Could she have fallen or gotten frightened and flew up hit her head somehow?

I know that birds like silkies with vaulted skulls can be more susceptible to head injuries, which could cause wry neck.

What exactly do you feed your birds?
