Hopefully she is ok; but I am going to share a story with you that happened to one of my pups in 2004. He walked off of a bed...did not jump, was walking and just stepped off. I picked him up immediately and he seemed to be just fine. A few days later, I noticed that his right front foot was slipping on my floor. It did not connect that this was possibly neurological. I thought maybe the hair on the pad of his foot needed to be clipped and so I took care of that. Next he went from that to full on quadriparesis. He was unable to even stand up .. thankfully he had deep pain reflex and also had control of his bladder and bowels. He had herniated two cervical discs and was admitted to Texas A&M for surgery. He recovered well after the surgery and physical therapy. If this had progressed any further the damage would have been permanent.
In your case, you also have the issue of your pup's head. Something like that can be deadly and sudden.
I would not waste a minute ... I would take her to a vet today...an emergency vet most likely since it is a holiday. She needs to have an exam that should include a neuro check. Always better to be safe than sorry. Just my two cents.
Good luck!
