I know you mean well, but the best thing you can do is nothing. Most deer are terrified of humans, for good reason, so any attempt to approach her will only cause her to run on her injured leg, possibly doing even more damage and certainly causing her more pain. If she's with other deer, they'll lead her to food and shelter.
If you were to call the authorities, especially "animal control," they'd probably just put her down and call it merciful.
She's already survived the initial injury, so her body may be able to heal itself. Just keep her safe from neighborhood dogs and kids and "do-gooders" with guns and there's a good chance she'll survive. Keep an eye out for her and watch her limp diminish day by day.

Call animal control, or fish and game, although they will likely not come until tomorrow. In the meantime make water available for her, and do not get too close, wild animals can be dangerous, especially full grown deer, she may look helpless, but they can be strong and could injure you.
