Yes, she needs to see the vet. That hole needs to be flushed out in case any more maggots are in there, in my experience, where there is one there is more. She may also need antibiotics for whatever caused the hole in the first place. A newborn kitten is a lot of work. Depending on age, she may need to be fed every 2 hrs around the clock with kitten milk replacer and will need you to rub her butt with a warm, damp cloth in order to poop. See the vet and they can guide you . Good luck
