I think resting her is a good idea, don't let Lucy jump on and off anything, no running, take her out to toilet on a lead only and bring her right back in when she's done. If you have a crate, I would confine her in that for the night. Then if she is still non-weight bearing and in pain in the morning (including limping), I would take her into the vet in the morning.
