it can be toxic if taken in high quantity so better check vit d3 level. , she can take physiotherapy and do physical exercises for muscle strengthening because only medicines cant heal pain if her joints are weak.

For osteoarthritis taking only calcium supplements will not help, other factors are also to be taken into consideration, like her range of motion (joint movement should be good) muscle strength should be ok, no tightness or stiffness, so regular exercise under a physiotherapist and treatment helps to control the problem. Besides taking calcium her vitamin D levels should also be checked, she should be taking good omega 3 as per doctors advice.
