I found a wild baby mouse and I think he hurt his leg, he spins in circles once in a while and kind of wobbly. He eats cheese and seems alert. Is he ok?

No, it is not OK. If you don't want to take it to a wildlife rehab facility then you can try to find a regular vet in your area that will look at it. Don't feed it cheese, that is not a normal diet for a mouse.
