Still eats and drinks but can’t walk without throwing wings around and being very unstable, very new chick owner and extremely worried any help would be greatly appreciated


 
That looks like she's got splayed legs.

You'll need to fix those asap while she's young or she could be handicapped when she grows up.

There are several methods such as cutting a bandaid or Vet wrap into about 1/2" strip, then binding her legs so they are straight under her. She'll not get around well like that either, but she needs to wear those for about three days, maybe four, then she should be perfect again.

Here's an article to explain more.

I'd also put them on vitamins, such as Poultry Cell in their water every other day for a week or two.
