Can you call a vet? Emergency vets are open 24/7, and may be able to advise you over the phone if you can't bring them in. Something is really wrong here. Use a search engine to find one in your area, or call your normal vet, often the night-time answering message includes info about 24/7 e-vets in your area.

Did your female have a post whelping vet exam? It sounds likely that she may have retained a placenta OR dead puppy and is becoming very sick from that.
There are other causes but this is an emergency and not only will the other pup die but she will, too!!!
She needs an emergency vet visit right now!
