Take a deep breath and relax. Try to be calm so that she can be calm about this as well. Puppies born anywhere between the 56 and 65 days will be fine. I have several litters come on each of these days with no problems whatsoever. If she is carrying 4 to 5 pups, she is very full so will not eat as she normal would. Most just snack off and on during the day and night the last week before whelping - keep food out for her at all times so that if she has the urge to snack, something is available.
Also, you didn't say if she was bred multiple times. If she was, you would start your watch form the 58th day from her first breed until the 63rd day from her last breeding.
Best of luck to you and your girl.
