Is Moving Eyeballs With Inability To Open Eyes Normal After A Fall?

My Aunt fell 2 days ago and is in the hospital. She is 80. She did not break anything but cannot walk. The doctor said this is dude to muscle weakness. Yesterday she would not open her eyes (you could see her moving the eye balls) and was talking crazy. Is this normal after a fall? What would cause the eye problem?
