Hello my female dove, it’s not active since last Friday, huddled up and eyes closed she could stay like these for a while, I’m not sure if she’s unwell and I’m getting worried, she has quick shallow breathing aswell

It does sound as if your dove isn't feeling well and would be best to bring her to a local avian vet for an exam to see what is going on. Until you can get to the vet, moving her to a warm hospital cage away from other birds and with easy access to food and water may help her to relax some until she can be seen.
