welcome to the board 
don't worry ur turtle is acting perfectly normal as a new turtles. they usually don't eat and bask for the first week or so cz of the change of the environment they don't feel safe in yet. try tuna it should work with her.
good luck

Welcome questionire, make yourself at home 
Just give the turtle some time to get used to its new environment, how long it takes depends on the turtle itself though, sometimes it takes two weeks, sometimes longer.
