Answer
Pups do sleep alot and tend to sleep more after vaccinations, but that doesn't explain the leg.  Was she using the leg fine before vaccinations?

If you are concerned about the leg, the vet should take your concerns seriously and help.  If they won't, do you have another vet nearby that you can go to?  

I don't know of a corrolation between shots and problems with legs, so I would have a vet check for an injury or a joint issue.
