Poor Rosie! It sounds like she's sore for some reason. If she's acting normal otherwise and able to put weight on the sore leg, it may be a minor injury like a sprain or pulled muscle that will resolve on its own. You can monitor her at home for the next 2-3 days to see if things go back to normal. If not, or if her symptoms become more severe, then it would be best to have her seen by a vet for x-rays to find out what's wrong.
