They've been carrying giant chain around with them the whole time? WTF.  |
Because Dany still wasn't convinced enough of the threat / didn't have enough motivation to send her "children" up over the wall. And I don't believe had yet realized how she felt about Jon until the squad got in trouble. So she was like "oh look another boy trying to prove how brave he is, well go ahead!"
There are thousands of them, and we probably haven't been seeing the whole army on screen. Maybe they have been lugging a few around. Seeing as it looks like the whole thing was a trap to begin with (a small group of them left vulnerable then the whole army rushes and surrounds them after, while the WWs just looked on?) and was possibly in the Night King's plans to strengthen their army.
