Although trauma can cause miscarriage, the pups are quite well protected by fluid etc around them and it is likely she was more startled than hurt if she is otherwise behaving normally now. Monitor very closely for any signs of discharge, bleeding or ongoing pain and discomfort and keep her well rested overnight. Unfortunately, if she is going to lose the pregnancy there is very little that can be done to alter this process other than rest and monitoring
