If Acil is not eating or drinking she really needs a veterinary visit. This could be from parasites, or there are several feline viral diseases that could make her feel sick. If she is only 5 to 6 weeks old then you may want to try feeding kitten milk replacer, KMR as well as trying a canned kitten food formula. But if those don't encourage her to eat then she really needs to see the vet for diagnostics and then treatment to get her feeling better. Best of luck I hope Acil makes a full recovery.
