How was Voldemort able to create Nagini Horcrux in his current condition?
It is known that creating a Horcrux is very dark and complicated magic. As per Pottermore
Horcrux, one of the – if not the – most difficult and extreme pieces of magic the wizarding world has to offer, for various reasons.
Rowling also stated in an interview (I don't have a quote though), that he believes many wizards tried creating Horcruxes but didn't succeed.
From the timing, we know that he made Nagini a Horcrux in the summer Prisoner of Azkaban and the Goblet of Fire. Wormtail ran at the end of the Prisoner of Azkaban and then he obviously needed at least some time to find Voldie. Creation of temporary ugly-child body would also take some time, I assume.
That leaves Voldemort just a few months with some kind if his body back.
How did he manage to create a Horcrux while being so weak?

Rowlings never goes into detail about what magic exactly is involved in creating a Horcrux. But we do know something (from this interview) about the murder of Bertha Jorkins, who Voldemort killed to make Nagini a Horcrux:
Voldemort could use a wand once he regained a rudimentary body, as long as the victim was subdued
Thus, we know that he did have a rudimentary body at the time. He also had plenty of previous practice with creating Horcruxes which doubtlessly helped. Having Wormtail as an assistant probably helped too.
