Two points: Somebody's put proper wheels on it and what's that lying(?)
on the wing?

It's not lying on the wing, it's the flap indicator and its cover. When
the flaps lower, the pin rises from the wing and pushes a cover open.
This gives the pilot visual confirmation that the flaps are safely down.
Look closely and you can see the operating cable/rod that goes forward
into the wing from the top of the pin.
