if your able to dangle the leg easily most ways ittl be broken,, but i feel its just injured its leg ,either way ive found the best way is to leave them alone , they soon learn to hop about and at that age [even if broken, would near knit in a fortnight] ive found splints and other methods [home made splints , plaster   cast etc , in fact can make the bird worse , by stopping the blood flow and swelling the leg, foot ,,,but  only my opinion   good luck to you with it  [you can make a hammock out of a pair of old tights with its two feet dangling through] but still found leaving it alone is better , it learns quicker to gradualy use it
