You need to get your kitten to a veterinarian immediately. To transport, gently slide the kitten onto a towel - having two people for this will help greatly. Your goal is to keep the head, neck and shoulders steady without moving them. Once the kitten is on the towel, slide your hands underneath it and place the kitten/towel onto two to four bath towels nestled in a laundry basket. Now the kitten can be carried in the laundry basket and taken to the veterinarian.
If the kitten is still walking or holding its head up, you can skip the towel under kitten transfer, but still drive with the kitten nestled in a laundry basket.
If the kitten is still nursing, bring the mother and the rest of the kittens along for the ride in a second basket or box.

If you agree to carrying him or even move him at all you will risk causing permanent neck or back injury. This would include paralyzing him. The best thing to do is to keep him still and from moving his neck. You should reassure him and then go find help immediately. You may aggravate the neck injury.

CAUTION! It's not a question of what your liability might be - it is a question of his neck injury and how serious it might be. A neck injury could signify a spinal cord injury. Moving him into a "fireman's carry" and transporting him that way COULD possibly cause significant and permanently disabling injury. Better method would be to immobilize him and either wait for, or summons additional help to the scene.
