Poor Skitty! Although it's possible that she may just be sore, acting weak and not eating can be signs of serious internal injuries. This may be a life-threatening problem, so I would really recommend taking her to an emergency vet tonight for an exam. He/she can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help determine how badly she is injured and what needs to be done to help her.
