Does my child have a Sleeping disorder? She doesn't find it hard to fall asleep but consistently wakes up 2 or3 times a night (last night 5 times) she doesn't have nightmares and I have tried numerous things to keep her asleep so please don't say she's not waking up for no reason because it really seams like she is. Its been going on for months. Does anyone else's child have a sleeping disorder and can spread some light on them for me

You don't say the child's age so it could be age related. You also don't say if she is distressed when she wakes up. Everybody wakes up during the night but we learn to self settle and with practice it mostly takes us less time to go back to sleep. What does she do when she wakes up? How long does it take for her to resettle to sleep? The waking up doesn't sound abnormal but that she isn't resettling her self quickly (if that's what is happening is abnormal).
I do have a child with a sleep disorder. To know for sure, go speak to your GP and discuss the specifics.
