Can you take a picture or even better a short video of your brooder setup right now?

Paper towels are very slippery. They work for chicks that are very strong, but weak ones can't get a grip. I suggest something with more texture so it can try to get on its feet. An old towel often works well, or something else that provides more traction. Don't give up on it. Some chicks that are born weak can get strong and have long, healthy lives.
 
i put down some wood chips i just got and shes fine now thanks guys
 
The feet and leg looks deform.

Please pull it out of the brooder and take close up pictures of its legs and feet then post.
