Diamond sounds very sick at the moment, and I recommend an immediate vet visit. It's very concerning she is extremely hot, and that could be signs she has a high fever or may be suffering from heat stroke. She is showing you she is very ill by not moving at all in six hours, and I would consider this an emergency. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
