Hopefully the next ones to hatch will be ok.

But if it happens again you need something around the sac to stop infection, Vaseline can help, as I have used this with hatchlings with large egg sacs. It does happen. Its all a learning curve. Having a tortoise first aid kit is useful if you continue breeding. Vaseline, scissors, some sort of dilutable disinfectant like F10 or triagene. kitchen roll and a water dropper.
If the hatchling needs water then dropping water over the mouth area can help.
