Take her to the vet, just to be sure she's not trying to tell you there's something wrong. My cat used to leave "gifts" on my bet when she had a UTI, or when her Inflammatory Bowel Disease was flaring up. In this case, too, it could be that she is in heat, and distressed about that. Get her fixed. She - and you - will be much happier and healthier.
Once you get a clean bill of health, then you can assume it's probably stress from the move. You might consider closing your cat in a "safe" room (other than your bedroom) where she can cave for a bit with her litterbox, toys and food until she feels secure. Visit often and pet and praise her, and let her visit other rooms when things are quiet and people are ready to love on her. She'll come around.

Moving is a big deal for a cat. People often fail to take this into consideration.
What she needs right now is reassurance that everything is going to be okay. Not much to do really, just give her lots of love, dont flip out cuz she pooped on your bed,
Stability is what she needs and please do take some time to understand her since she is living with you and your daughter. A 3 year old may not be capable of understanding her needs but as you seem to be the adult it is your responsibility. Please, for the cats sake and everyone's sake, dont take your responsibility lightly.
I cant say how long this will take to resolve, just that with love and stability, it should turn out fine some day. Best of luck.

LH is quite right. An infection involving pain might lead a cat to perceive that it is the litter box causing the pain. So I heard an expert say once. Unfortunately, we never really know what's going on in those little minds.

Your cat may have had a painful experience in her litterbox. She may be trying to tell you the only way she can. Bring her to the vet to make sure her backside is ok. Also, make sure the litter is cleaned daily. Or try using a different brand of litter. I hope she is ok.

fix your cat first of all, and have her checked for worms too...
she is stressed and upset with the move - try keeping her in a small room to herself (with litter box) for a while then slowly introduce her to the rest of the home.
Use non-scented clumping litter as its the kind most cats like - DO NOT put the litter box in a potential scary place (like next to laundry machine or furnace etc)

cats do not like change. pooping in your bed is a stress behavior. try to keep her out of your room and confine her for awhile if you can. maybe a bathroom with her box and food. give her a chance to settle in. my cat did something similar, IT got so bad i took him to the vet and he put him on kitty "prosaic" for about a month. after that all was well

Well the obvious solution would be to keep the cat off the
bed...
