I'm no professional, but I'd keep her a hydrated as possible. Maybe try to shower her? She could have eggs in her. I'd take her to a vet asap. It's better to be safe rather than sorry. I hope you figure whats wrong and she gets well.
 
Doesn't look good, if she's digging then she's probably needing to lay eggs. Does she have access to a proper nesting box? If not, then make sure she does in the future. To me, this looks like a serious emergency that needs to be taken care of by a vet! If a female is unable to lay her eggs, it can be lethal!!! Take her in asap, she needs help regaurdless of what's going on!
 
It's 10 here and the vet is an hour away and my parents won't let me go I also have school Ive been hydrating her quite well

Ok.....well this is where things get tricky. For me, it's pretty simple since my parents left me the house last year; I can do what I need to do. Now, what you're going to need to ask yourself and your parents is how much do you value the life of this animal versus the other things that may be affected by it?

This is a very tough situation. Trust me, I understand. What she needs is medical treatment by the looks of it, and if your parents cannot take you do you know of anyone, anyone at all, whom you could call and ask to take her for you?

No I don't all of my friends live far away
 
Is it possible that she has just layed her eggs? Check and see if she did.....if this is the case then she's most likely just exhausted and the best thing you can do is let her rest/bask and keep her hydrated. Her insides are a bit stretched out and all so this could be why she did not eat. If her eggs are layed, then there is no need for immediate concern because that's normal
 
How is she doing this morning? I'm sorry for disappearing last night, but my phone was being goofy and didn't give me notifications.
