Congrats on your new dog, Harley is so cute! Moving into a new home is stressful, and it will take time for her to adjust. I wouldn't be worried just yet she hasn't gone to the bathroom. Keep an eye on her today, and if she still hasn't gone by the morning, I would be worried and have her seen by a vet. Best of luck.
