This is not normal behavior. Even kittens will not urinate or defecate on themselves. It sounds like she is sick and I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian. The doctor will check her for an infection and also check to make sure her nervous system appears to be formed normally. Make sure to bring in a stool sample for a parasite testing as well. Best of luck.
