She changes the distance of her weight and the axis of rotation, reducing her inertia. Making her speed up to compensate.
Its been a while since I took physics, hopefully this makes sense.

An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kg · m2when her arms are outstretched, and at this time she is spinning at 3.0 rev/s. If she pulls in her arms and decreases her moment of inertia to 2.0 kg
