Probably just the seasonal mating hunt. Probably won't eat for several weeks either. Mine is on week 7 so far, last time was 4 months.
Nothing you can do about it.

I tried taking the male out for a bit to see if she calmed down but it made her even worse!

If she is living with a male then there is a good chance she is gravid and looking for a place to lay. You need to provide her with a laybox and ideally remove the male to allow her to lay in peace.

as kdlang says if she's living with a male theres every chance she's gravid and the shed she has just had could be her pre lay shed meaning you've got between 7-14 days roughly before she lays

Ok I'll take him out again.
She has been ok again since I've put him back in like normal.
What do I put in a lay box? I've never really sure what substrate to use.

If you've been keeping a male and female together then you need to get onto the breeding section of the forum immediately, and start reading the stickies and other threads there about layboxes, eggs and incubators.
