She was in heat and she mated 5 times and got tied and stuck its been weeks about 2 weeks should I take her to the vet and is there a high chance she is pregnant. If she is pregnant what foods should I feed her? She has also been very tired and lazy at times and very energetic.

Yes, there is a chance she is pregnant. Wait until 45 days after the last time she mated to take her into the vet to get x-rays to confirm she is pregnant. If she is pregnant, a puppy food is good to feed her. She needs the extra calories, calcium, and protein. You can put it on her now.
