Get yourself a new queen ASAP. Why she isn't laying could be attributed to many reasons and frankly isn't that important, but the most important thing is that she is NOT laying. Pinch the old queen, wait a day or so and introduce the new queen properly, queen cage and all.

Could it be chalkbrood:

Not enough good info, and too much frivolous info.

It doesn't matter how big your package was, how many frames of comb and foundation you started with, or the syrup you fed them.

What do you have now? How many frames are covered with bees? What do you mean by deformed bees? Deformed in what way? Baby bees will look grayish white and fuzzy after emerging. That's normal.

Did the queen stop laying because she ran out of room to lay? If the bees aren't drawing comb fast enough, the queen runs out of space to lay. The bees can only cover a limited amount of comb, and if the queen lays more eggs than they can cover, some eggs will die or be eaten.

You say you started the package a month ago, and it took the queen a week to start laying. You should just now start to see the very first capped brood emerging. The queen didn't lay every egg in one day, so don't expect all the brood to emerge in one day.

Bees do not emerge with chalkbrood. If they are deformed, DWV Deformed Wing Virus is a possibility brought on by Varroa mites.
