have you checked your levels in your tank ,your nitrite nitrate and ammonia check the readings first if they are to high do a water change and your remaining fish should be OK

Did you acclimatise them to your tank before letting them loose in it? You are supposed to put them in the tank in the bag for at least 6 hours. If not this could be your problem.

Call the pet store and tell them what is going on here they can help you do not buy any more fish till you have this problem under control.

10 gallons is really too small for a goldfish aquarium. they suggest at least 10 gallons per goldfish. you fish are playing survival of the fittest. i would suggest getting remaining goldfish some minnows for friends but no more goldfish.

Doesn't sound promising
