Your best bet is to look thoroughly and find the needle. Then you will know.
But i'm not 100% sure that I did drop the needle in the cage, I didn't have the sewing in the room with her cage but its been stuck to my clothes before and it has fallen off so im just worried

Iv'e looked on my desk & my floor for the needle & can't find it but it could be absolutely anywhere in the house if is has fallen off my clothing & I do have an appointment on Monday to see the vet so maybe I should just keep a close eye on her over the weekend & possibly mention it to the vet but I wouldnt even know how to word it. However do you think waiting the weekend to see the vet is too long even though it's possible that the needle hasnt been in her cage?
