First, wash her hair with lots of conditioning shampoo. Then, use a conditioner that you would use on your own hair, and leave it in for at least five mins. Rinse. Never use a brush to get tangles out, you could make the hair very brittle. My 5 yr old has long naturally curly hair. I have to do this everyday to her hair so it won't frizz up and get knotted. I also comb her hair several times a day to get the tangles out. I put her hair in pony tails or braids all the time, just to keep it looking nice. Everybody always comments on how cute she looks. Maybe this will help you.

Listen to everyone who told you not to panic, to take your time.
I had a bad bout of flu last year and was so down I'd just pinned my hair up/back each morning and unpinned it at day's end. When the flu was through and I had energy again I also had a major snarl.
I began with the ends of the hair and worked my way back, bit by bit. When I got a 2-3" section untangled from ends to scalp, I braided it loosely, to keep it out of the way. Repeat, repeat, repeat. It took half a day, but it *did* untangle. I didn't cut any tangle out. I didn't pull any hair out. I *did* have a lot of shed hair, but that was several days, maybe over a week's worth, and it was all "full length", probably time to fall out and be replaced anyway.
As the instruction in The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy: DON'T PANIC.
I didn't use the de-tangling lotions or wet down my hair, but, do whatever works with what you have on hand.

Buy a bottle of Johnson and Johnson detangler. Spray liberally onto her hair when its dry, spray enough to make it wet and then let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Take a wide-tooth come and gently tease through from the ends to the roots, working down up. Put her in front of a movie or the TV while doing this, keep her occupied. After that, braid her hair at night to keep it more controlled.

Use a wide tooth comb and pull pieces out little by little. Use L'oreal Tangle Free or something like that. Its in a green bottle. Then once you have gotten most the knotts out lather all of her hair with a detangling shampoo and conditioner. I have knotted up my hair badly before, and this always works.

Don't cut it!!! braid it at night before you put her to bed, it will keep the knots and tangles out. To get the current knots and tangles out, use a WIDE tooth comb and gently work the knots out little by little, try using a little leave in conditioner to help work out the tangles.

As a daddy of three daughters, I have had to deal with this on several occasions. Get her hair good and wet, then put a big helping of conditioner for dry hair in her hair. Let that sit for a couple of minutes while she plays in the tub, then with your fingers first and then with a brush, work through it. All of my girls have had lots of hair and we have worked through some pretty serious messes doing this and it has worked every time. Once you get through it, rise it out real good and have a good day.

Wash her hair every other day. Get a tube of VO5. A dime size amount swashed between your hands then apply. Comb out with a vented straight comb. Then wash and condition. And blow dry. Keep manageable by keeping clean and groomed. At least 3 days a week. Put in a ponytail or braid. My guess is maybe she sweats in her sleep and it gets very curly and tangled. Keep her comfortably cool and no drafts in her face.

My hair was very knotted when I was younger because it wasn't brushed with a stiff enough brush and it had to be cut. You couldn't see where it had been cut though because it was underneath. Don't make your daughter suffer because you can't bring yourself to cut it. I was so glad to have nice tangle free hair, I didn't care that it was cut.
When she starts school it will need to be tangle free so you can make sure she doesn't get lice.

wet her hair and put conditioner in it. take a wide tooth comb and carefully/slowly comb her hair starting at the ends (not at the scalp) if you do that it will just make the knots tighter.
good luck!

Autumn's answer is good. The only other advice is to start combing at the ends of the hair and work up.
