I have 2 almost 5 year old female Guinea pigs, one is a short haired Guinea pig and the other is a long haired. While cleaning their cage a checking them, I noticed that both of them have crusty noses and crust eyes. After cleaning the crust off them I saw that the long haired one wasn't walking much, Both of them are eating very well. I would love to take them to the vet but I dont have enough money to take them there, and there are also non near that can help them. Is there anything that I can do to help them?
 
I am sorry that your piggies seem poorly but they really do need to see a vet. Only a vet is able to diagnose the problem and prescribe the correct treatment.
Is there a family member or friend you can borrow some money from, could you as the vet for a payment plan?

Weigh your piggies each day to ensure they are eating enough hay but they really do need to see a vet

Please read the link here re. payment support options in various countries: A guide to vets fees, insurance and payment support.

Crusty noses and eyes are usually a sign of a well developed respiratory infection, which can kill or permanently damage if left untreated. It will need a course of antibiotics to get on top of it, which are prescription-only in most countries so you will need to see a vet.
Pleae accept that we cannot diagnose remotely and cannot replace any necessary vet visits.
 
Good luck and I hope whatever it is is caught quickly. Let us know how you get on.
