Poor Ness! It is a good idea to take her to the vet on Monday. For now, I would rest her completely. If you have a crate, I would keep her in that to keep him from moving too much. If you don't have a crate, I would confine her in a small room. Take her outside to potty on a lead only, and bring her right back in when she's done. Try to keep her as quiet and still as possible.
