This seems more of the knee cap issue where the knee cap gets locked leading ti all that she is having. It's patellofemoral pain with patella malalignment.
Next Steps
ice packs, sit on taller heights, reducing the locking with patella taping.
Health Tips
we can do a in clinic consultation if you want.

A sudden pain n locking can be due to a Meniscal or cartilage problem. Ask her to rest it , ice it use a brace for the knee and take anti inflammatory medications and avoid bending the knee till the pain settles. See an orthopaedic surgeon as early as possible. Cheers
