I'm sorry that you're upset.
Is it possible that the former colleague doesn't know how to submit a LinkedIn recommendation or that she got locked out of her account? Here's a link to LinkedIn's help on the matter; perhaps you could send it to her?
I'll be going on job interviews (hopefully / eventually), and I need references. Usually what's expected from the applicant is the name, phone number and/or email address of three references. The company then would call or email them for information. (I've been phone-interviewed as a reference once.) It's possible that the company that you're applying to will accept LinkedIn references, but it seems unusual.
