Ah I see!! You filled in the title but not the main box- The box below the title, you'll need to put a message of some sort in, just a description of the egg, perhaps include information like the temperature and humidity in the incubator, anything like that. Then try again posting it

Hi I got six duck eggs 17 days ago and I decided to candle then today but i noticed the air sac is very big can any body recommend me a solution.

Pictures would help. If the air sac is too big the humidity is likely too low. What are you keeping your humidity at? When I incubated duck eggs I shot for 45-55% until lockdown where I bumped it 55-65%

The black area you're seeing is the duckling filling up the shell so that light can't pass through anymore. As long as there are clear veins, it should be ok. But I would be a little worried about why there isn't movement.
As long as the egg doesn't have any bad smell, keep incuabting and candle again before lockdown- see where you're at by that point, and let me know what happens. By lockdown, the egg should become more and more full of black, and the air cell should dip to one side, growing larger.

ok thank you so much but the duck egg has a smell but it doesnt smell that bad to me but what positon should the duck egg be?

just lying down flat on it's side is fine. Where did you get this egg? Where it came from and how you recieved it may be important as to what's going on. Did your duck lay it, or did you buy it? Find it some place?
