I am so sorry that has happened to you. - I have been there, done that a few times

I know it's hard to think immediately after you've had the rug pulled out from under you, so I will give you some advice.  The very FIRST thing you must do is file for unemployment.  It will only be a percentage of what you were making at your job but at least it's SOMETHING.  Apply as soon as you can because it does take a while for benefits to start.  The second equally important thing you need to do is relax and let the dust settle for a few days.  When the shock wears off you'll be thinking more clearly and better able to make decisions.  I hope for the best for you.   <3
