Name changed as outing

My dd, 6, with autism, has suddenly decided that she will no longer be walking

She is non verbal so can't tell me why

I don't know whether she is in pain or has broken a limb, it doesnt seem like it

I've applied slight pressure to her legs and she doesnt react

Today she crawled on the pavement in the rain, and sat in Sainsbury's car park until I carried her to the car. Then she has just wet herself instead of going to the toilet

Whats going on?

I am thinking to take her to a&e tomorrow and then send her to school in her buggy (which by now will be too small but she might just fit)

Has anyone experienced this? If so please help 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ i'm getting very worried
