It can't hurt to give it a good soak in some clean water and put some antibiotic cream on it.

The greenish/blue color is bruising. She's injured the foot somehow.
Sounds like she's self limiting activity. I would be inclined to leave the foot alone and let her gingerly baby it. Leave her with the flock unless they are picking on her.
Monitor her foot daily to see how it's looking.

Doesn't look like an antibiotic is necessary at this time.

Okay thank you I’ll leave her withthe flock and she’s on the top anyway so no one dares to mess with her but I hope the pain goes away I’m dont like seeing my baby go through this but it doesn’t look serious so It should be fine…….but I did notice she’s walking and laying down

Just keep watch on her, it can take a while to recover from bruising.
