Hi! It's hard to tell from pictures, but she looks ok to me. If she's moving around like she normally does for the next few days, I'm sure she is undamaged. Give her a day or two to adjust to her new home, and then offer her food. Just make sure the vent holes in her new enclosure aren't too big for her to escape through or get stuck. You may want to check out some rehousing videos that use a homade water bottle type of catch cup, or something similar, before your next rehouse. Best of luck to you!

Hi
your enclosure is not the best for avic.You want higher enclosure with lots more holes on all sides and top to ensure good ventilation.Avics need very good ventilation.Dont mist,keep the substrate dry with good size waterdish with water available.You need some vertical cork bark or thick branch for her to have a stable foot hold those grass like bits are not providing that and cover near the top of that but not too close to the lid as it most likely will get webbed shut.

Now to your question.
Have a good look if is any clear liquid (hemolymph = spider blood) anywhere on her.If yes you need to dust that area with cornflour (corn starch) to stop the bleeding.Is the spider moving ok?
If she is moving ok and not bleeding make sure water is available and let her be for a week or so before trying to feed her.
Hope she will be ok.
Regards Konstantin
