Diva is so cute! She may not like the new food you have given her and the change has upset her stomach, leading to her stopping eating. It is concerning that such a young puppy has stopped eating and drinking, and this requires an immediate vet visit. I'd take her into a vet today for a health check. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
