6 week old asleep all day and floppy

My 6 week old DD is asleep for the whole day. Normally she is playful and awake for up to 9 hours a day (with naps). She had sleepy days a few times before but not like this. It's zero interaction. I know it could be a growth spurt but it's scary, this amount of sleep. When I pick her up she is floppy and opens eyes looks at me but falls asleep again. She is conscious but I'm so worried I'm almost in tears now especially as DH is on Business trip.
Is it growth spurt or something wrong? What would be symptoms if she is not ok?

Everything could be fine but I would want to get her checked, how is temperature, feeding etc?

Ring NHS - if your instinct is to be concerned then get her checked. I hope all is ok.
