She is most likely in a state of hibernation. The burrowing in the soil is normal. Not eating for that long is not normal. I suggest you refer to this article about diet, feeding, housing, etc and make sure you are doing everything correctly. Most problems we see with captive turtles is due to incorrect husbandry.
