I think it means she's dead. I'm surprised you didn't pick up on that.
This is Mrs. Capulet shortly after the Nurse discovers Juliet apparently dead in bed. She is pouring out her grief and incomprehension by repeating it over and over. Think about someone you know well who is 13 years old. Now imagine waking up one morning to find out that that person has died the night before. How do you think you would feel?

What does shakespeare mean by the word alas?
It's an expression of sadness and regret. It often suggests that the situation is unfortunate, and so is somewhat similar to the way we might use "unfortunately". It often appears in the expression "alack the day". Examples: It would beseem the Lord Northumberland To say 'King Richard:' alack the heavy day When such a sacred king should hide his head. (Richard II) Ah, well-a-day! he's dead, he's dead, he's dead! We are undone, lady, we are undone! Alack the day! he's gone, he's kill'd, he's dead! (Romeo and Juliet) But his flaw'd heart (Alack, too weak the conflict to support!) 'Twixt two extremes of passion, joy and grief, Burst smilingly. (King Lear) Alack, I am afraid they have awaked, And 'tis not done. The attempt and not the deed Confounds us. (Macbeth) Thou bring'st me happiness and peace, son John; But health, alack, with youthful wings is flown From this bare wither'd trunk. (Henry IV Part II) It is sort of like "Alas" with which it can be used interchangeably.
