Like has been said, separating them now with the hope that she isn't fertilized is a good plan.
I'm not going to jump all over you. You now know, and rubbing your face into the whole matter will get us nowhere. People make mistakes, God knows I have. Kudos to you for coming in here, admitting the mistake with all the details, and asking for help.
What I would do if I found myself in this situation:
Separate the female, feed her well, keep her warm so she can digest optimally and put on as much size as she can. One other thing I'd add: exercise her. Get those muscles toned up, because she's going to need them if she needs to push out a clutch of eggs. Put her in a cage with lots of climbing toys, get her out and have her crawl over your hands for a half hour, tone her up. It'll lower your chances of egg binding, plus keep her from getting obese from the feedings in the meantime.
Good luck, I hope it all works out for you.
