It sounds like your cats have a severe respiratory infection which is circulating amongst them and can be very serious and often in young kittens. I wold be concerned that the mothers may also have transmitted FIV/AIDs or FELV to the kittens resulting in poor immunity. Bathing their noses every few hours to improve airflow can help but they really do need assessment and treatment by a vet including antibiotics for secondary infections as soon as possible - most cases will suffer ongoing congestion due to damage and scarring from severe and chronic infections
