There's a thing called hand feeding formula which you should keep on hand if you are breeding your birds. You give it to the young when you have a case like this.
I wonder if the male would feed the chick again if you get the female away where he can't hear her. That worked for me before.
I think there might be a diy hand feeding formula recipe you can make at home. There's some on YouTube which might help too

It sounds like something that may be either from injury or a developmental problem. Either way you are going to need the expertise of an avian vet to advise you on whether there is anything that can be done for the chick.
Make sure all chicks are cracking and seed by themselves and start introducing them to fresh foods at this age.
