I put my first pool up last week and the ground was supposedly level however, the on side looks like it is bowing in and the water level doesn’t look even. I’m afraid it’s going to collapse . Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to TFP 
Your pool looks perfect and it is level.. AN oval pool sides always bow in like that.. It looks like that set of poles might have a little bend in them but it is fine.. I think as you use the pool it will move out some more...
Great job

Great job
Could you post a photo of where the legs meet the ground on the pool sides? I don't think anything is wrong, I just want to see if the legs are configured differently. What brand of pool is this?
I only have a picture of the left side. I can take more later . It’s a Coleman 16 x 10 x 48

Ok, do the legs on the fence side touch the fence? Do you plan to leave the pool up over the winter?
No. The legs do not touch the fence. I’ll probably take it down this year because we didn’t put supports under the legs.
Next year when you put it up, recess some large, thick pavers or pressure treated wood so they are flush with the ground and give the legs plenty of room to spread out as the pool fills. It looks like you did a great job setting up a level area for the pool!

it is perfectly level... and great job on that.. what I meant was.. because it is on soil the legs did not move as much outward.. that is why it is bowed in on that side... As you use the pool it should start moving those legs out a little bit more so that side should look the same as the other side...
No issue at all
