As you've been told, the ball is dead, so the defense's actions are moot until the offense gets a chance to fulfill their duties. Both runners are awarded 1 base from where they were when the ball went out of play. If runner from 2nd was beyond 3rd, she is awarded home. However, both runners need to retouch the bases they left early, or be susceptible to possible appeals.
In any case, the umpire was wrong (again) to rule an out for any appealable play until that appeal has actually been made. Sounds like (from this and the other post) your umpires need some retraining.
