What type of surface are they on? If they are on concrete or something slick try putting them on carpet or grass, something to give them some traction and will help with muscle development.

Do  you mean the toes are pointing outward? (East-west front?) Or are the bones themselves actually bent?  If it's the latter, it could be nutrition-related. What are you feeding them? Proper nutrition is very important for young pups, when the bones are growing rapidly.

Thank you for you advice. They are on brick surface. I mean east-west front. I feed them dry food brand name- ALPO (purina) 27% protein.150g per day

Is this due to overweight? Do i need to cut weight? How much i need to feed them? I am planning to change Royal Canine ( Maxi baby) Is it possible due to jumping as they jump from their kennel which is about 10 inch high above the ground.

You must be one of the lucky ones.
