I’m so sorry to hear about your chick! If you could post a picture of her it would help us to see exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it

Welcome to BYC, and sorry about your baby chick. It might be injured or in shock. Keep it warm and where other chicks won’t peck at it. Is it’s eyes open and is it awake and alert? Accidenta like this happen, so don’t beat yourself up. I am hoping it is alright.

It may be fine, it could have internal injury. The best thing right now is to keep it someplace safe and quiet with food and water. Did it get hit with the door or crushed when the door closed? How is it behaving? Will it still eat/drink on it's own? Does it's energy level compare to others? If you reach over top of the chick does it react? Has it pooped since the accident? (How does it look)
Please describe exactly how the accident happened.
I know there's a bunch of questions, the more details you can provide the better help you will get. Things happen with baby chicks, no one blames you for this. We've all had something go wrong from time to time.

Ok. First, stop blaming yourself. Accidents happen. Right now giving the chick proper care is the best way you can make it up.
Crush injuries are very difficult to diagnose without a lot of expensive medical equipment, but we're going to do our best to to give this little guy the best chance. First, is it possible to go to a vet?

See about a vet, they're better equipped to see if there's anything serious wrong. For now periodically try giving some water (vitamins and electrolytes if you have). A dropper on the side of the beak will encourage her to drink. Also a little feed mixed with water to the consistency of oatmeal, scrambled egg, or yogurt may entice her to eat a little. Best of luck
