Could be, I don't know a ton about betta but look at those fins. They provide so much drag, and she is a dumbo so she has those big "ear" fins, makes it very hard to swim. Imagine jumping into a pool with XXXL sweatpants and trying to swim all day long. Someone will tell you for sure though.

Betta don’t do a lot. They tend to hang out for periods of time .
I wouldn’t worry. If in doubt partial water change!
