Set up a separate tank for the couple with proper filter, water quality and a heater set around 70 degrees. Also, put some live plants inside the tank to provide vegetable for the couple and the babies when they're born, along with a black cup for hiding place. Remove the couple back to original tank as soon as they finish laying eggs, which can be seen on the leaves and other surfaces.

You dont have to do anything. Goldfish dont really get "pregnant" though. The females can become full of eggs but they dont get fertilized until she releases them and the male will release his milt. If you dont have a male then you dont have to worry about babies but the female can still lay them without a male.
Oh and goldfish do breed in captivity. I won 3 from a fair 2 years ago and they have breed twice so far and I am far from a pro even though I have been raising goldfish since I was little. I'm only 23 btw.

If you know your fish is pregnant, go to the pet store and buy a special container. It floats in the tank, the goldfish or even a regular fish stays in it until the babies are born. The babies drop to the bottom of the container, and then you remove the adult,keeping the babies in the floating container until big enough not to be eaten.

How do you know it is pregnant? Goldfish do not breed in captivity unless you are a pro.

nothing leave it,let nature take its course. just make sure you have some weed in your pond/tank for them to lay there eggs on and for the fry to hide.
