Cut out all the extras, those are supposed to be kept to a bars minimum of 1 tbs per bird, once or twice a week.

Her legs look kind of thick, especially the left leg and does it have some scabbing? Could she be a meat bird? Leg bone deformities such as varus or valgus deformity can be common in one leg or both, in chickens. That might explain stepping on the opposite foot.
I didn't find much on them when I first got them... But big thick legs seems to be a standard trait from online posts.
 
You're not a bad chicken mom. It's not your fault she's the way she is, you didn't make her this way. If you had, all your chickens would be the same.
Thank you. I always enjoy her company cause she would "hang" out with me so I feel really bad I never realized I don't see her move much. I just thought she was chill, compared to her baby flock mates.
