You can find more information on their wheelchair assistance policies here. For example:

United will provide in-airport wheelchair service at no charge to passengers with mobility impairments or other disabilities.

and

Every United aircraft and gate area has available a specially designed wheelchair for mobility-impaired customers to use. These wheelchairs are referred to as "aisle chairs" because they fit in the aisles of our aircraft and may be used to move about the cabin.
