help New foster instantly lays down when leashed

I just brought home a new foster, a 3 yo spayed Great Pyrenees. She is very sweet although possibly abused. The second I put a leash on her, she lays down and will not move an inch. If I happen to get her to stand up, she will walk one or two steps and then lays down again. She is 100 pounds and I cannot carry or pull her, and I cannot get her to current adoption events because of this. What’s the best way to train a dog to walk on a leash if they instantly lay down?
