You were to tell me something last night?
Does it mean she wanted but she didn't?

Before you ask a question about a sentence you need to get the sentence right. It's a question, so you need to use subject-verb inversion, which means the verb goes first.

Were you to tell me something last night?

Secondly, it's doubtful that anyone would ever ask a question this way. Most likely they would add 'supposed', thus:

Were you supposed to tell me something last night?

I assume you were talking to a woman or girl because you use "she".
I also assume that you asked the question, and not her, though you don't say who asked the question. You say Does it mean she wanted, but you don't say what she may have wanted. What do you think she wanted? This is not clear.

If you are asking the question, it cannot mean anything about her state of mind. I'm surprised that you think we would know if she wanted to tell you something or not when that is just what you are asking her. If you already knew the answer, you would not be asking her the question.

This sentence implies Did you forget to tell me something last night?

As I recall, you have asked this question before and received the same answer, so I am puzzled that you keep asking the same question.
