If your dog isn't putting any weight on the leg its because its painful to do so, so she is avoiding using it. She really needs a phycial exam and potentialy x rays to see what is wrong. Esepcially if she has not improced in the 3 days she should be seen today by your vet if possible. There are many possibilities of what is wrong... dislocation, fracture, ligament or soft tissue damage.
Good luck, let me know how she gets on.
