Check the water temperature. Low temps will affect appetite and activity in reptiles. You should also make sure she is in a large enough tank. The water should be no deeper than twice the shell length. Monitor for difficulty breathing, discharge or bubbles from the nose/mouth and swimming crooked. These are symptoms of potential infection and should be addressed by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles.
