It's really hard telling. I've seen puppies with broken femurs not showing obvious signs of pain except lifting unless a vet touches just the right spot.

As long as she eating and drinking, she should be fine through the night. if the regular vet isn't open in the morning though, I'd consider the ER. Since she is lifting it sometimes, she is likely in pain. Can't have her wait til Tuesday... Have you ever seen a dog carry their leg with luxating patella? Does it look like that? Did you check her paw pad to make sure something isn't poking or pulling?

If you decide to wait until morning, she needs to stay still for the night. Crate and leash to potty.
