First of all, calm down. 
Did she pull hair and make a nest? If not, then first find a container big enough for her and the babies. Then put in some straw (or hay, if you don't have straw). Pull some hair from her (the dewlap and chest area are easy to get hair from) and line the nest with it. Then put the babies in the nest, covering them with a light covering of more fur.
Don't panic if she doesn't feed them right away. Rabbits only feed their babies once (sometimes twice) a day, and only for a few minutes at a time. You can tell if they've eaten by their bellies. They should be rounded, not sunk in. But since she just had them, just monitor them in the morning and see if they ate over night.

Can you syringe feed them by buying a milk replacement? And keeping them warm? There is a lot of info on the forums about breeding rabbits and taking care of kits.
