You could try putting it in luke warm water for a while, i have done this with my pyxie and it worked wonders.
You could also try gently massaging its belly at the same time.

i put her in warm water but she didnt want to stay in it long. ill keep trying.

i have been to spray but the drinking water is spring water.

spring water is ok. sounds like mild redleg or more likely to be mouth rot. clean out her enclosure, see the vet and then feed her. i'm no expert (not even old enough to be profesional lol) but i think its mouth rot. hard to tell without a pic.

im not sure when she last fed but theres still a couple of crickets in the viv. she hasnt got water in her limbs so i dnt think its kidney failure. i checked her as soon as i got up and she doesnt seem to be holding as much water and shes jus started to shed, do u think it was coz of this ?

It's not that unusual for whites to get pretty big and fat and look like they are retaining water. Mine often look huge and bloated but they soon deflate again within a day or so. As long as it's just the belly, it's quite usual. If you start to notice the frog acting differently and bloated then it's more likely to be something wrong.
