She usually sleeps well, but this is hard because she also roams and is not walking steady. I don't know if that is UTI or antibiotic.

Call the doctor who prescribed the antibiotic and report the side effects.
How long has she been on the antibiotic? Ask if she can switch to a different antibiotic or take earlier in the day. It is a known side effect of Amoxicillin.
Practice good sleep hygiene…limit caffeine and nicotine.
