Answer
Hi Chelsea!  I am so very sorry for the loss of your hamster. Losing a pet is always so hard.
Since your guinea pig is laying down, I would suspect that she is going to be in labor very, very soon.  The further along they get in their pregnancy, the harder it is for them to move.  As long as she is continuing to eat and drink, this is more than likely just a symptom of late pregnancy.
I hope this helps and keep me posted on those baby piggies when they come!
