All of the outlets in my daughters bedroom went out last night. No circuits were tripped and I tried resetting them all. The overhead light and fan work fine and they are on the same circuit. All three outlets were working fine when she went to bed. What could be causing then all to be out? And what can I do to fix it?

Might be a tripped GFI. Check the outlet in an adjacent bathroom or kitchen and push the little reset button.
I once had a GFI trip outside and it messed up a bunch of outlets. It's worth a shot. Good luck .

Many homes have outlets and lights on different circuits but you may be an exception. Go to each outlet and check both the black/hot wire for power and also see if the white/neutral is still fully connected and making a circuit. I think you may have a loose connection somewhere on this circuit and then everything down stream is also out. At a minimum you will need a screw driver and a tester for both power and continuity, do you have one? Bedrooms are not normally on a GFCI but who knows what was done years ago. Modern bedroom circuits are AFCI and can also trip.
