My 6 year old yorkies left eye is swollen & has a lot of crud underneath it & yesterday morning I woke up and her eye was shut so I quickly washed her and she was okay. But I don't know what to do about it being swollen and treating it??

Considering the description of the signs and the pictures, there is a severe inflammation of the eyelids probably with secondary infection. Allergic reaction or trauma are possible as well. I would recommend an immediate check up as eye integrity and functionality must be assessed. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
