Winky was tasked with assisting and controlling Barty Crouch Jr after his father (Barty Crouch Sr) sneaked him out of Azkaban. Winky convinced Barty Sr to allow Barty Jr to attend the Quidditch World Cup, as a reward for good behaviour. To allow this to happen, Barty Jr wore an invisibility cloak while Winky stated she was saving a seat for her boss.

During the match. Barty Jr stole Harry Potter's wand from his back pocket. Later that night, he used the wand to cast the dark mark, the appearance of which instantly caused several ministry officials to apparate to the location and cast stunning spells - which caught Winky and the hidden Barty Jr.)

When a ministry official found Winky stunned next to Harry's wand, Barty Sr had no choice but to terminate Winky on the spot as it appeared she had stolen a wizards wand which was illegal. Another reason she was fired, was for failing to control Barty Jr - although nobody else could know this.

What did Winky claim at the Quidditch World Cup?

Winky was sitting on a seat in the top box, near Harry, Hermione and the Weasley's. She told them that she was saving a seat for her master, Barty Crouch Sr. In reality, Barty Crouch Jr was sitting on that seat under the invisibility cloak. While there, he stole Harry's wand from his back pocket. Winky, who was hiding her eyes as she was terrified of heights, failed to notice this. During the riot started by the death eaters, Barty Crouch Jr used the stolen wand to cast the dark mark. Prompting the arrival of ministry wizards who immediately sent stunning spells, which hit Barty & Winky. Of course, Barty was still concealed under the invisibility cloak so only WInky and the wand were found, and so Winky was blamed for casting the dark mark. Winky claimed she didn't know to do such a thing, but Barty Crouch Sr released her from service in order to save face.
