Move them somewhere with bright, filtered light, (no direct sun). And just give them time to recover.
They're already stressed, I would hold off on fertilizer till new growth is evident.

Bill, Sounds like a good selection!
If from this year's harvest, they should be ready to germinate this spring. Coontie seeds dry out pretty quick, is the fruit still on? That is the best way to store them.
