Urgent help needed: My Tarantula doesn't want to lay her eggs

My Pamphoebetus fortis female was mated and we kept the temps perfect and everything. She created a thick mat of webbing and for a few days we thought she laid eggs. We left her alone for 10 days and just checked up on her to see if they are doing fine.
We discovered the egg sac abandoned. When we checked up on her, the egg sac had no traces of eggs inside and she still had a very fat abdomen. Shining the light on her abdomen, we could see the eggs inside. She didn't lay any eggs yet and she is refusing to do so. Now she looks half dead and is hardly moving.

No, we didn't bother her a lot or tampered around her enclosure, she was seperated and left in a dark environment away from disturbances.
No we didn't check up on her daily, once we saw the mat, we left her alone for a few days before checking up.
Today was the first time in 10 days that we checked up on her.

She looks impacted and she is extremely unresponsive. She had access to fresh water the whole time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
