Have it checked out by the vet, and crate her each time she does it.
What do you mean by " crate" ?
Here's a link to Amazon's page on dog crates and carriers. There are many different sizes and styles to choose from. It is common for trainers to recommend crate training to help your dog feel safe and comfortable in their own space.

Is this new behavior? Has there been a change in her schedule or your lives? If nothing new has happened, there may be a physical problem which your vet should know about.
definitely the vet should rule out any major problems. If she's given a clean bill of health, then you will need to retrain her, making sure to catch her in the act. Dogs don't have a great memory for after-the-fact training
so what you do is wait for her to get in the poop position, then startle her (saying NO in a strong voice is good) but please don't become angry or too loud so that she does not become stressed. You just do something to get her out of that head space then take her outside. Eventually she should get the picture.
its important to keep your dog in its place. you can put up a gate tp your bedroom door and after a while the dog we undertsand to not enter that bedroom. also dogs could have to go to the washroom so take him out before bed!
