She may be scared and upset. When you get to your destination, try to make it feel like home and give her a little space to readjust. Most cats don't like being in a carrier, and travel in general is very stressful for pets. If she is still acting abnormally after a few days, it may be a good idea to have her examined by a vet to make sure there is nothing else going on.
