Best take the litter and mom to your vet and have the legs of the kitten assessed. Depending on the type of "bend", it may be possible to put them into the right position with orthopedic aids. Without seeing the deformation in person and being able to palpate or xray the legs, it is not possible to assess it. Best make an appointment with your veterinarian.
