My queen has flipped upside down and i am wondering if this is bad. I am new to ant keeping and have no idea whether to flip it back over manually or let it flip itself over on its own?

Ants can normally self right. However if your queen doesn't self right after a period of time you can aid her.

Is she still upside down? What setup is she in? Do you have pics?
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
