If you go to dictionary.com, and enter those words, you will get back a screen defining each one (but perhaps not dosen't since it is spelled wrong) ... for instance
she's
1. contraction of she is
2. contraction of she has

The words you have listed are contractions, with the exception of ain't, which isn't exactly a word, although it is now included in some dictionaries (sadly enough). Because contractions are made of two separate words, you won't find them in the dictionary. Do not = don't. Would not = won't. (Ain't should be isn't, which = is not) Will not = won't. She'd could be she would or she had. Does not = doesn't.

These are contractions. You'll never find them in a dictionary because these are two words in one.
N ' T = goes for negative, NO
