I would be very concerned that Carla has maybe injured herself causing her to howl when moving and not be able to walk correctly. She looks like a young puppy from your picture (and she's adorable!), so the best thing to do is take her into a vet immediately. The vet can diagnose what is causing her symptoms and how best to treat it. Please take her into a vet now. Good luck, I hope this helps!
