You may have just startled her by falling on her, and she is hiding because she is scared. If she starts limping, becomes lethargic, or stops eating and drinking, then she likely was hurt from the trauma, and I would take her into the vet for an exam.

She is so cute. If she is able to walk and comfortable, you can monitor her while keeping her rested to heal. Otherwise, if it appears she needs pain medications, or if there are any wounds, then I would recommend taking her in.
