Poor Blu! It is possible there was a loud noise, such as a car zooming by, or even an animal out there that startled her. Checking the yard for anything that may indicate a strange animal is a good idea. I would give her a few nights to settle back in, and then try to have her outside again. If she does sleep outside, making sure she has a secure place to sleep with bedding and shelter to keep her out of the cold and rain is a good idea.
