Answer
well guinea pigs come into maturity between 3 to 6 weeks, also you can usually sex them from day one.

by the sounds of it i think your guinea pig may have an anal impaction, the only other possibillity, though very unlikely is that is is a troubled birth. either way if this is not seen to promptly your pig is likely to die.

all you can do is take them to a vet, and the vet can tell you the sex of them as well. the sooner this is done then the better.

sorry i cannot help more but given the possible seriousness timing is everything and a vet is the quickest and best option. best of luck
