WHY didn't you take the two months it took for the pups to gestate to read a BOOK!?!?! If you were responsible at ALL, you'd never have bred your dog! And you want us to teach you what it took us up to 20 years to learn here and now? How aobut you call your vet and have the postpartum check done on her and the pups.

I have a litter of 4 week old pups and the momma won't nurse them at all. I feed the pups & if I'm not watching she will eat all their canned puppy food, drink all the goat milk & then just leave them crying. So I have separated them for now. I make her nurse once or twice a day. She will get up & sneak away if I am not watching. So I have cut way back on her food so she will begin to dry up. The pups are outside in a sheltered kennel with food & water and a insulated dog house. They are already eating dry too. They don't really have a choice since moms being a brat. :/ But they are doing good. All are healthy. I did supplement them with Goats milk early on they are fat lil roly polys.

I'm going to assume this was a whoops litter and you didn't mean to breed your dog without knowing this information.
You need to take mom and the puppies to the vet to make sure she isn't retaining any puppies (which could be fatal to her) and the make sure none of the puppies have birth defects that will cause them not to thrive and need to be put down like a cleft palate. While you're there talk to you vet about proper nutrition for mom and advice on weaning the pups and a vaccine schedule.
If you don't intend to breed your female have her spayed when the puppies are old enough to go to new homes. If you do intend to breed her please research all the health test she will need, show her to her championship or at least have her evaluated by someone who is experienced in the breed to see if she is a good enough example of her breed to breed, and get in touch with and experience breeder to mentor you before you even consider breeding again. If you're not willing to do all this please have her spayed.

Leave it all to the mother dog she knows what to do it her instincts. Just double the amount you feed the mother because the puppies take a lot of nutrient from her. Call you local vet or any other vet for more instructions.

What do you do now????!!!!!! Call your Vet and take your female and the pups into see the Vet. Get an oxytosin injection and antibiotic injection for your female. Discuss with your Vet what 'you do now'. Take notes, find out when to bring the puppies back to start their puppy shots. Ask your Vet what would be best to feed your female, how much, how often? Make an appointment to spay your female as soon as she weans the puppies.

Leave Mom and the babies alone for the time being.. you can offer the Mom food and water but she might not take anything right away don't worry it will pass. The puppies should be with the Mom she knows what to do. She is tired and they are too, let them rest!

Well, make sure the mom and pups have clean bedding (change it daily to every other day), make sure the mom has lots of fresh food and water nearby.
When the pups are about ten weeks old have the mother spayed. You do not seem to be a legit breeder and have no knowledge about raising puppies.

Ok take your puppies and mother into a save place if the mother does not eat or drink thats normal but make sure the puppies are ok and you should be fine.

Leave the puppies with their mother. Leave her alone mostly. Keep check that she is willing to feed and accept them. If you move them away from her she could reject them later and they really need her to survive. I wish you luck I have raised 3 litters it was great to see them grow and my kids got a view of nature all at the same time.

Why the heck weren't you learning this stuff two months ago???
THIS is why people have such an issue with people breeding who have no clue what they're doing.
CALL YOUR VET.
