I am so sorry that your cat has lost her kittens. Best leave her alone and give her time to clean herself up. Remove the dead kittens and make sure, no other animal can find them and eat them. Feed her her normal food and give her water. Replace her bedding with fresh bedding. Watch her over the next few days, for fever, lethargy, not eating and/or drinking, vomiting, diarrhea. If any of these occur and if her vaginal discharge appears to look like pus or has a bad smell, then you need to take her to your veterinarian right away, as she may have a uterine infection.
