I'd take her to a Vet - anything else is just guessing.

Something appears to be wrong with her legs. Could be just about anything.

It sounds like she hurt herself. Did you take her to the Vet?

Is there other animals surrounding your guinea pig? Is there wild animals that can come near them if the cage is outside, there could be either a leg or stomach problem, the stomach could be uncomfortable and she may jump around, or their could be a torn ligement.... the mother may have kicked it in the head or leg.... but she could be popcorning

take it to the vet though
