Something’s wrong with my chick

I understand that is worrisome.
Need more info.
How old is your chick?
What are you feeding it?
Whats your brooder set up?
Can you upload a picture of the behavior?
Take a picture of the poop.
Have you checked it's crop?
Here are some pictures of her behavior. Sorry for the bad quality, they were screenshoted from a video a made.
In the first two ones she’s backing away from nothing, and in the last one she’s not moving around, as if she’s frozen in place.

It could be similar to wry neck, a neurological behavior due to a vitamin E or thiamine deficiency. That can look like a crooked neck, walking backward or in circles. You could treat with giving vitamin E 400 IU and 1/4 tablet of vitamin b complex daily to see if it helps. I would go to a feed store right away to get a proper chick starter/grower which has all of the vitamins and minerals, as well as the amount of protein they need.

Okay, thanks a lot!
