My zebra jumping spider seems to be unable to move one of its pedipalps, it seems to be stuck upwards whilst the other moves just fine. Anyone seen this before?

I used to keep and breed gray wall jumping spiders a year or so ago, and sometimes if their legs would get hurt or twisted that would happen. As long as your spooder still has a few more molts in him, it should fix, like how they can grow their legs back through molts.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry. It should regenerate with the next molt. If the hoppy is mature and has stopped molting, it should be fine anyway. They take it like a matter of fact, shrug and do their things. :)

I'd have to name that one Wavey Davey

Yeah she should have at least one more, thanks.
