Day old chick only flops to one side

We just hatched some chicks and ever since this guy came out of his egg he just stays flopped to one side (right side). He doesn’t like being forced to lay on his other side and doesn’t really use his right leg at all. He won’t eat but I can get him to take a couple drops of water. He’s maybe 24 hours old now.

Currently he’s separated from his siblings cause they just trample him and walk all over him. I’m not sure what to do from here. I’ve been trying to just keep him upright for now.

He moves around and peeps occasionally but doesn’t walk
