If she is unable to use her front leg and cannot extend it, it has potentially been traumatically damged for example a fracture. It may just be a strain or sprain but if she cant use it you will need to take her to the vet asap in case it is broken. If ot is broken the sooner you get there the more options there are for treatment.
