I would have the puppies seen by a vet immediately. This pus can indicate an eye infection, and that should be treated by a vet. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with them should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take these puppies, their siblings, and their mother into the vet right away.
