Several facts: If you live in the US, it is illegal to keep most native birds, their nests, their eggs, or even their feathers. Now, the English House Sparrow (actually not a sparrow, but a type of Weaver Finch), is not a native species, so you don't have to worry if this is the type of egg you have. But there are over 30 species of sparrow that are native to the US, and many other small birds that may look like sparrows to the untrained observer. If you are not absolutely sure what type of bird the egg came from, discard it.
Second: You didn't say how you found the egg, or how long you have had it. Bird eggs need the mother bird to keep the egg at the right temperature and humidity, or the egg needs to be put in an incubator that mimics that temperature and humidity. If the egg cooled off, the embryo inside propably died.

Incubator. It has to be kept warm with a certain humidity (youll have to look this up, i dont know what humidity sparrow eggs like to be kept at right off hand) and the egg will need to be turned around twice a day.
