Sebright Cant Walk

I would try to rule out being egg bound by checking her vent inside. Sometimes an egg can get stuck and cause a temporary lameness if the egg is pressing against a nerve. I would try to get some human vitamin B complex or super B, and crush 1/4 tablet daily into food or a spoonful of water to give her. Are her toes curled under on either foot? Here are 2 good articles to read in case of Mareks:

Was she vaccinated for Mareks disease? Sebrights are one of the breeds, such as silkies, who seem more prone to Mareks. I really hope that she has something else going on and not Mareks, but just want to mention it. Can you insert a clean finger into her vent to check for a stuck egg? Offer her some electrolytes/vitamins and water, and make sure that she can reach water and food. She needs to probably be inside a dog crate with food and water for her protection, but leave it in her coop if possible. A chicken sling chair is sometimes helpful to get them upright, keep cleaner, and help to eat, while observing her to find out what is wrong. Here is a good link with pictures and videos of slings:

Her tail is sideways. Not sure if that means anything either.
 
I hope she will make a great recovery. Can you maybe post a picture of her poop? It might help, you never know.
Heres a lil poo pic hahah

I would just try the vitamins and read all you can about Mareks in post 11. It may take time to see changes if she has an injury or a vitamin deficiency which has caused this.
 
So far no curled toes. If I stand her up and give her a nudged she can walk a bit but just lays back down. Poor chicken :(
