A few things could be happening. You could have a broody hen, she has decided to hatch a clutch of eggs and is sitting on them. You may have a sick chicken, she may not feel well enough to participate in the activities normally done during the day. She may have an injury preventing her from getting up. You will need to do some investigating.

A broody hen will protest any attempt to move her off the nest, she will strike out at a helping hand, if moved from the nest she will go right back. A sick hen may allow herself to be moved and stay right where you put her, not attempting to get up and move, but not protest the moving in any way.
