Question
last night my little girl started pacing alot, vomited 4
times,seems to drink a little more than usual, asks to go
out alot but seems unable to urinate very much.
when I take her out she seems to try to urinate in several
different spots, but like I said seems unable to go very
much. When she finally settles down she seems to rest okay.
But she is acting the same way this morning. What could be
wrong with her?

I cannot diagnose your dog's ailments, but is sounds as if she should be examined by a  veterinarian as soon as possible.  Frequent attempts to urinate may indicate a bladder infection or bladder stones.  Your veterinarian can help you determine what is wrong with your dog by performing a urinalysis, bloodwork, and taking radiographs.
