Are you sure it’s bent? Because many chain stays are intentionally shaped like that
Loosen, reset, and tighten the wheel. It most likely shifted in the move and is fine.
It could be that the wheel moved in the dropouts.
Loosen the quick release axle (or bolt) and then shake the bike/wheel so it settles in correctly, and then retighten it.
Is wheel true?
Is wheel dished?
Take wheel out – is frame bent?
Need longer view pics to be able to tell. Not an off camber zoom of a rubbing tire.
Could be 3-5 things – but a bent frame would be low on the likely list.
If it’s really a bent chainstay, this is not really an at-home job
