I would take her to a vet if she seems in distress or is having trouble, just to make sure there isn't an issue such as a structural problem or illness causing her inability to meow. Vets see pets from birth to end of life, so they should be able to examine her, even if she is still very little. You can either take her in a carrier, or if she is very tiny, wrap her gently in a towel or blanket and carry her in your arms. You can also bring all the kittens and mom together in a carrier for a full checkup if you do not want to separate the kitten from its mother.
