This is a medical emergency, and your cat has to see a vet immediately. She needs veterinary attention if she is severely injured. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
