I think you HAVE to forget all of your scheduled business for today and RUN to a vet!!!
Meanwhile do not give any food or water to the kitten until a vet sees her.

Being a cat owner also means to put your cat's life ahead of anything else!

Do you have the rest of her litter?

This is clearly unsafe, though I’m glad to hear she is better. You need to secure all kittens in one safe room for now.

You also need to look into spaying and neutering your cats. You will be overrun with kittens before you know it, and you will have babies having babies. Where are you located? We can help you to find a low cost clinic in your area.

I am not trying to be rude, you grabbing her or him by the paw like that in the video doesn’t help. As well as putting her on the bed.

At least, she is doing better.
This.

Please try to handle your kitten more gently. Remember that she's just a tiny baby, and is injured and in pain right now.

It's also not a good idea to have her walking that high off the ground. Can you put a soft blanket on the floor for her? Having her on the bed puts her at risk of falling and hurting herself more. It may not seem high up from a human standpoint, but for a kitten it's a long distance to potentially fall, especially when she isn't balancing well.

I too am glad to hear her condition has improved.
