Dear patient
vitamin d deficiency in children leads to rickets and affects all bones of the body. BUT once it is corrected as u said height growth should be regained. If not we need to search for other causes of short stature. this needs detail evaluation with skeletal survey and hormone levels check up. Please take her to pediatric specialist and get herself examined.
