It does sound like she is eggbound or has laid internally. Have you lubricated her vent to help her pass the egg? You can give her mineral oil by mouth as well. Keep her confined and in a warm, darkened room. If she has laid internally, she may need antibiotics and a visit to the vet. Hopefully someone else will chime in with more help. Good luck.
