Have you given some chick vitamins? Is it eating or drinking? Giving some Poultry Cell 2 drops daily, or PolyVisol Without Iron 3 drops, would be good. You might want to put a hobble on it’s legs and use a chick sling for a few days. In the sling it could have food and water in front of it. Some chicks, though have neurologic damage, and may not make it. I hatched a couple who could never stand upright, but would flop backward, and they never would eat or drink. It could also have some other leg problem. Here is a good link on homemade chick slings with pictures:
