Help why what is happening to this?

Without knowing what medium you are using, I would say its a combination of over watering, (yellow blotching ), and that your water you are using, or the medium the seedling is growing in is more acidic than what the seedling can tolerate, (leaf displaying lettuces type deformation).

Everything is fine! Your seed has sprouted, and you are like a concerned mother. Your first few leaves won’t always look perfect. Relax a little and let your new seedling breathe!
Your soil looks like it could use more aerating components, like white perlite bits! Other than that, I wouldn’t stress. There is nothing I would be concerned of in the picture. Let your soil get dry before watering again.

In fact don’t water. Mist it for now. Buy better medium also.

Hahaha! I'm not taking the piss. It all looks fine if she blew over, she might be a wee bit stressed but will be fine. Just remember these plants have been around millennia and have been fine! Don't love her too much and don't make her life hard, let her do what she needs to and just make things a little easier along the way. She and you will be fine and you will both be rewarded in the end! Big love!

Ok so first I would recommend that you move to using to water but for the meantime I would use (just) water until about the 3rd- 6th node. Hope that is helpful.

If that's just coco and perlite then when you water use 1/4 strength nutes pH'd to 5.8 - 6.0 for seedlings. You increase nutrient strength as the plant gets bigger. But let it dry out. You don't need to water daily in coco with plants that small. In fact you want the coco to dry out some with seedlings.
That's if it's just coco and perlite.

I concur with the above. Coir and perlite are great components of a soil mix, or soilless hydro. But alone they will need some added solid (or liquid) macro and micronutrients. They don’t need much at this stage!
People often get too excited and overdo things at this stage. Just focus on proper lighting and root development. Don’t choke your roots with water. Let them branch out all fluffy as much as possible by keeping soil moist, not wet.
