Answer
Well if something heavy fell on her it sure sounds like you have either broken the spine of severed the nerves.  If this is the case nothing can be done and I am sure you dog is in major pain.  I would take it back to the vet and have some xRays done to find the extent of the damage that was caused and go from there.  If the spine and nerves are damaged the best thing to do for the poor puppy is to put it to sleep so it does not suffer anymore.
