First of all, I don't think a molly would swim like that just because she ate all her fry. What other fish do you have in your tank? How are they doing? How long have you had your molly for? More detail to your question would help.

I've had fish do this before, it could be caused by stress. I would treat with melafix(liquid med found at petstore). Make sure to follow directions on bottle and remove your carbon when teating so it doesn't absorb the meds.
