Separate it from your others immediately. Is it choking?

There was nothing on that site that mentioned any of symptoms my baby chicks is going through

Again, separate the chick from the others immediately. If this is a disease, it could get them all. Next, pry open its beak and check for obstruction or parasites. Also with that head shake, check for a foreign body or injury in the ears. These are just first steps you should start with.

I'm no expert. I have bird and chicken experience. You may need an avian or farm vet.

Have you checked to see if something is stuck in its mouth/throat. How old is the chick ? This does not sound like a disease situation with the rapid onset.

The chick is a silkie chicken,
It looks like a week old, has lots of downy feathers and the adult feathers are almost reaching the tail.
