Hi
I'm afraid with the symptoms you describe the only way to tell for sure whats going on is for a proper physical examination from a vet.

It does sound to me like a possible spinal issue which can affect the bowels.But what has caused this I could not say and as I say you will need to take her to see a vet as soon as you can. In the meantime jut keep her in and and as comfortable as you can. Make sure her litter tray and fresh water are near by her for easy access.

I hope she is better soon
