She has rejected them, some dogs do this. The actual cause is unknown, it just happens sometimes, most often with first-time mothers. You have to hand-feed with bottles & formula for puppies, and stimulate them to go to the bathroom. If you are not up to this, please take them to a vet that will take them.

She may notice that they are not healthiest pups. She might be tired and doesn't have any milk production. She could be malnourished also.
