Certainly, she could be pregnant, if she's not spayed and she's had contact with an intact male dog. However, hiding is a very general sign of many illnesses and just generally feeling unwell. Your best course of action would be to take Lilly to the vet, who should be able to 1.) determine if she is pregnant and about to have puppies soon and 2.) if she's not pregnant, exactly what is causing her to act like this.
