Take it to a place that specializes in trailers like cargo, flatbed and Horse trailer repair or custom builder.
Have them measure and check the axle stubs for straightness along with the springs.
Axles have a natural "bend" upwards in the middle of the axle tube that a lot of places that do not know better will tell you that the axle is bent.
That bend is intentional and flattens out under a heavy load to maintain proper camber of the wheels..
I suspect the "lean" you have may be coming from the springs, you can roughly measure that by measuring the distance between the spring at each axle to the bottom of the trailer frame. Those measurements should be nearly identical for both sides. If not then you have a weak spring.
Not unusual to have a spring flatten out under normal use.
As far as storing it with a lean, no harm there as long as you are not operating the fridge in storage.. If you want to run the fridge in storage then simply add a board under the wheels of the side which is leaning..
