Possibly: How long has she walked that way? This can be something called tibial torsion or femoral anteversion. Those causes should have made her gait abnormal for a while. She should be evaluated by her doctor or an orthopedic doctor.

Probably normal: If associated with pain, or fever, which is not listed in your question, would consider hip pathology, however without pain, would just have your pediatrician check her next visit.
