Not sure what to do. She completely wrapped her leg around the cotton and she's stuck. What do I do? Should I try to peel it loose by stretching it using tweezers or just leave her alone and hope she chews herself free?

Hope she chews herself free,

Should I at least separate the giant piece of cotton away from her so she can roam free? Otherwise, she'll probably die if she can't. Because now, she's shackled to a giant piece of cotton.

Yes. Make it so she can roam flee. She will eventually bite the rest of the cotton off or when she gets her first workers they will do it for her.

Crisis averted. I decided to intervene and she's now able to roam freely with a little bit of cotton trailing behind her. She's super docile. After removing the cotton, she began drinking some honey water like nothing ever happened, lol. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I didn't notice until the cotton was removed but she apparently lost half a leg at some point during her entanglement. Hopefully she doesn't die from it...Henceforth, she will be known as stumpy. The stump colony.

She should probably be fine. Just don't move the colony around too much. But I think she will be fine.
