What is wrong with it?
What are the symptoms?
Age?
Is it incubated or purchased?
Is it eating/drinking/pooping?
Picture of your brooder set up?

Do you have Nutri Drench or Poultry Cell, put a drop on its beak not in its mouth cause it may aspirate. Try see if you can get it to eat a boiled egg yolk, mash it up with some water, making it pasty and offer it. It's possible that it's one of those "failure to survive" chicks, looks very weak and may not survive but we still try

yes she is very weak. she is at the point where she can’t stand up anymore. I will keep trying but i’m mostly thinking she is not going to make it through the night. i don’t have poultry cell or nutri drench. i can try the egg thing
