Poor girl! If her leg is swollen, I am really concerned that she may have broken her leg. Is there anyway to take her and the kittens to the vet so she can be checked out? Your vet will be able to take x-rays and determine the best treatment for her. If she is a stray, your vet may decide to just confine her to a small area if at all possible to see if it will heal on its own. If you can't get her to a vet, the best thing you can do is to try and confine her to a small area with her kittens to prevent her from moving around too much. I hope this helps!
