Can you locate the nest? Is there a local wildlife center, veterinarian, or humane society that could care for the bird nearby? The local animal shelter near me takes care of sick or very young birds that people bring in, and they said not to give the baby birds you find outside food or water because various things can go wrong (choking, incorrect food, and other issues). The best thing you can do is keep them comfortable and not wasting their energy until you can get them to a qualified wildlife caregiver.
I faced nearly the same situation with a baby robin a few weeks ago and luckily had a place to take the bird.

@Zara might be able to offer advice... She helped another member with care for a baby budgie several months ago.

Edit: Perhaps this page could be moved to a more serious category? Bird Emergency Highway 911?

Marie gave some good advice. If you post what area you are in, maybe members can help locate somewhere to take the little guy.

Some more info;

Sorry, I do not know how to care for such birds. @Birdbabe or @iamwhoiam might have more to add.

We're actually in a lockdown now we can't even go out even if you have a veterinarian nearby

You need to keep the baby warm. Pad a container with paper toweling and maybe find a small bowl and put that in the larger container. Pad the bowl, too. Put a heating pad under @ 1/2 of that container.
You can feed the baby a cat food mixture. Best to use a wooden coffee stirrer or popsicle stick to do that.
Here's a link for the recipe: Baby Starling Care: precise information on caring for wild baby birds I used this formula for my house sparrow although I didn't add bird vitamins.

You can lightly tap on the baby's beak to stimulate a feeding response.

I hope the little one will be OK. Check through the linked site for more information. Looks like a baby house sparrow to me but sometimes baby birds from different species can look similar.

Looks like a baby sparrow? Warm baby bird formula, fed from a spoon or even a " pen cap"
Like this,,

Tap the side of the beak to get a feeding response, baby should open its beak and eat from there,,,oh dear, I would tube feed, but you MUST be very experienced to do this..
@Britnicorn ...good luck honey, bless you!!

Sorry I can’t offer much advice, I don’t know much about these little guys

Edit: if it fell it likely has some sort of brain injury and there’s not much you can do :/ just be sure it knows it’s loved, safe, and warm

My friend raised one successfully. Maybe you can too.
Besides what Zara showed for a feeder, I’ve been having good luck with straws. The ones I have are gigantic and have a u- shaped end that sticks out, and I scoop a little food onto the end and they eat it from there. No danger of aspiration since I’m not shoving it down their throat.

Any update on the baby?

Any update on the baby?

The baby bird died yesterday I tried feeding it but it won't open its beak and it wasn't moving

 

[Shezbug]

I’m sorry. Thank you for trying.

 

[Cheryl0708]

This baby bird died it dint wanted to eat anything and I feel like it fell down from the rooftop and the left leg was swollen as well

 

[Tiel Feathers]

I’m sorry the baby didn’t make it, but thank you for trying.

 

[Britnicorn]

There was likely nothing you could do to save it anyway, but at least it passed knowing it was safe and cared for
Thank you for trying to save it, I'm sure it really appreciated your kindness
