I’m sorry to hear that Nora doesn’t seem to be feeling well. Lethargy can be a result of pain, organ dysfunction, stomach upset, or many other conditions. Due to her crying and eye discharge, a painful eye condition would be my first suspicion. Since eye problems can progress rapidly, I recommend taking her to a vet for evaluation today rather than taking a wait and see approach. I hope that she feels better soon!
