Answer
it seems that the hamster is indeed sick. I advise that you either talk to your parents and have your parents talk to your friends parents about taking the hamster to a vet or you let your friend decide when your friend gets home what to do. I do believe that the hamster has a respiratory problem and maybe even an ear infection since it's walking funny. It's not your fault that the hamster is sick so don't feel bad at all.
