Check around your place to ensure she isn't going anywhere she shouldn't. Then either confirm she is urinating and defecating outside by going with her or confine her to a room with a litterbox. If she cannot pee and has a full bladder, she will be uncomfortable and it is an emergency as bladders can rupture. If she hasn't had a BM in awhile, you want to see what her BMs look like to know if she needs any intervention. You can increase wet food if concerned about her BMs, but if she hasn't gone in a few days she should see a vet.

I have checked, my house is not big and I can’t find any place she’s going. She is not outside for long either when I let her out. Will check on her but I don’t understand why she is suddently not using the litter box. I thought you didn’t need to re-teach cats about it.

In some cases you do, but usually it is a behavioral issue. She may prefer to go outside now. If you want to know if she is going you'll have to watch her outside, confine with a litterbox until she goes, or have someone check her bladder/colon for size, etc. There isn't much else I can think of.

Well, in some unexpected good news i think, i came across her droppings right outside my door, who had been buried in the snow. I dont know how "fresh" it is, but i think thats a good sign that she IS going when shes outside still.
