Hi, it is impossible to say what has happened to her kittens, she may have them somewhere and is just coming to you for comfort. Or as you say she may have lost her kittens. the only way to try and find them would be to watch where she goes when she is outside and follow her, but if they are dead she may not return to them.
if you bare concerned for her health then the only answer will be to take her to the vets to have her checked over just in case she still has kittens inside her or if something else has gone wrong.
