How to ask what she's doing this weekend
Verdict first
Don't ask for her schedule — offer a plan. "What are you doing this weekend?" makes her guess why you're asking. "Want to get brunch Saturday?" gives her something to say yes to.

Why the plain question flops
It sounds like a setup, and it puts her on the spot: if she says "nothing", she feels committed to whatever comes next. Many people answer vaguely just to keep options open.
What to send
Lead with the plan, keep it specific:
If she's busy
Take it in stride and offer one alternative. If she doesn't suggest another time, leave the next step to her.
Verdict
Don't ask what she's doing. Tell her what you'd like to do together.
