No, it isn't normal that Bella isn't eat or move a lot. While a dog's reproductive organs can get quite swollen during a heat, I would be concerned that her additional signs indicate that she is suffering from a systemic illness. If she is peeing blood, it could be there is blood in her urine coming from her bladder in addition to her uterus. This could be due to a UTI or bladder stones. I would have Bella seen by a vet right away for a health check.
