Only attorneys can represent other people in court. There is no exception for family members, even when the party is disabled. Further, merely saying that your sister is disabled does not impact her legal rights or give you any special status.

If your sister really can't make her own decisions, a state court can appoint someone as her guardian or conservator. That person (my guess is it won't be you) can decide to sue on her behalf but would still have to find a lawyer to represent her.
