What action did one jury member about 5 minutes into the film that is now a crime twelve angry men?

The wording of the question is a bit overdramatic: it's not so much "is now a crime" as "is generally recognized by everyone connected with the legal profession as juror misconduct," and it was juror misconduct at the time of the film, too (filmmakers are generally not legal professionals, and are far more interested in making a gripping movie than in getting nuances of the law correct).
That said, early in the movie we find out that Juror #8 (Fonda) has conducted his own investigation into the case, which he should not have done; he has introduced unsworn testimoney (his own), which he should not have done; and he has introduced evidence through improper channels, which he should not have done. This is probably what you're thinking of.
There are further instances of judicial misconduct in the movie, but these are the ones that occur nearest the beginning.
