My new 5-month-old puppy won't poop outside. Is she constipated?

Question

She is 5 months old and will not poop outside. I'm afraid she is going to hurt herself holding it. Only had her for 1 day. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 9 lbs

If it has only been one day would give Leiya a little more time, she is likely just very scared and unsure of the new environment. If she has not passed faeces over the weekend or seems in discomfort I would take her to the vet to make sure she isn't constipated.
