first guess without any details i would say lights are not enough or too far away...a seedling will stretch fast in its first few days of life...and will grow towards a light fast if its not getting enough light...carefully add a little soil to support the stem and get your lights closer...and lets hope its not under a standard light bulb...cant grow with those

EMERGENCY stand up !!! please get a straw an some twistie ties !!!! your gonna have to steak it up until it can stand on its own. You need to do this ASAP... or else 24 hours an " DEATH " use the straw an poke it into the soil about 2 or 3 inches in the ground then use the twistie ties to secure the steam only... do not tie hard make it loose so the steam leans on the straw... Hurry....

just keep it propped up, dont let a fan blow it over and hope for the best. it could still be okay unless the stem was kinked/broke when it fell over. even then its still worth a try.
good luck!

ive had them laying over for 2-3 days before fixing it and it live just fine...they dont need that much light this early into life...but def need more than 10w...using cfls i would not use less then 3 23-26 watters per plant...can get some y adapters for under a buck and use one socket with 3-4 bulbs...also make sure to get bubls that are in the 6500k color temp..thats was for veg...use 2700k bullbs when they are flowering

Try this...I use these for stretched ouy seedlings, I use an old net pot or a plastic beer cup. Just cut it to the right height and then cut a slit down the side and along the bottom. Stand your plant up and slide your plant cup crutch in place.
