This is normal for a 6-day newborn. Passing stool after each feed (even 8–12 times/day), gas, and difficulty burping are common due to immature digestion. Sleeping most of the day is also normal.
Continue exclusive breastfeeding, burp in different positions, and keep baby upright after feeds.
No medicine needed.
Consult pediatrician if poor feeding, very sleepy to wake, <6 urine/day, vomiting, or blood in stool.

She seems to be okay, based on what you wrote here. Can't give advice without examination. Babies at this age are not able to burp that much, also they sleep a lot, also they poop after every breastfeed. If she is passing urine 6-8 times a day, gaining weight adequately after the first week, sleeping for 2-3 hours after every feed, then she's okay
