First off, it may be too late for this clutch of eggs. You need to have an incubator pre-heated a few days prior to laying to 82-84 degrees to transfer the eggs into immediately after laying. Let your dragon go through all her motions undisturbed. After she has covered the whole she has dug, you can uncover the eggs and remove them. You can place the eggs in plastic containers of vermiculite or perlite that is moist enough to pinch a clump together between your fingers and place those into the incubator. You may be able to save this clutch if you hurry. If not, please do some research quick because she will more than likely lay again in a few weeks. They lay three clutches a year, usually in the spring. Also, you noted in your post that she had dug in sand?? Sand isn't the best substrate for dragons. They can injest enough while eating to cause impaction, creating an obstruction in the intestines. I know you are new to dragons, but do all the research you can. There is alot to keeping reptiles. One of the best sources of information is right here on kingsnake. Just search the archives. Good luck!!
