Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Being unable to walk and not wanting to eat are very concerning for many possible underlying disease processes. It could be that she is painful, this can cause reluctance to walk and eat. This can be caused by an injury to the spine (unable to walk, dragging back legs, wobbly), abdominal pain (usually a hunched back, tense abdomen when you touch it, short stiff steps with the back legs), or she could have other causes of pain. I recommend you bring her to a vet, they will do an exam, and might do x-rays or bloodwork as well, depending on what they find on exam. Best of luck with Cherry.
