It could be her back or hips were painful when she got up, and that's why she squealed, but the pain stopped when she started moving around. I would keep an eye on her for now, and if she continues squealing when she gets up, I would have her checked out by a vet. Please do not give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Best of luck.
