Can you give more details. Is the left foot just curled under? Will the leg bend? Does the chick have splayed legs? I would start some b vitamins for riboflavin, which can help with curled toes. You can alao tape toes as in this link:

This link shows how to tape splayed legs:

Well thank you for the promt reply!
The left foot stays curled up like that even
when it tries to walk. I can straighten the toes with my fingers.
I don't know if it's splayed because it can't actually stand on that foot
 
Splayed legs are wide apart, and a leg hobble can bring them closer for a few days. Leg bone deformities (varus, valgus, and rotated tibia) and slipped tendons are also common.
