3 days ago I noticed the chicken I recently got had a big bump on her eyelid and now today I’ve noticed her eye is closed and she isn’t seeing out of it

Wash it out well with some saline solution and put some plain neosporin or terramycin ointment on it. If it's crusty you might have to soak it a bit first. Clean and reapply ointment daily until it looks fully scabbed over and healing. Best guess is that it is a pecking injury so be sure that no is bullying her. I might keep her separated in a crate for a few days to be sure no is tempted to peck at it.
