Yes and yes: This definately sounds like an allergic reaction. You need to find out what she is allergic to for fortune prevention.

Doctor visit needed: Schedule an appointment with an immunologist. Get a thorough list of ingredients in the sushi she ate. Joint swelling and pain is not a typical allergic reaction (type i hsr). Blood and skin testing might be warranted and an Epipen (epinephrine) might be prescribed.
