Get some Epsom salts and mix a couple tablespoon in a gal of water and use that to water the plants.

Look to see if there is evidence of twisted and puckered but still green leaves. Dicamba a drift prone herbicide can be blamed if used in a neighboring field. I lost a whole garden to it about 2 years ago.
If just wilted see if there is soil moisture 6 inches down. if not it just could be dry. If not carefully remove that plant without disturbing it much, and burn it. I might cover the plants near it prior to removal. Jim

Can you describe what they looked like?

Check the stem at ground level, you may find squash vine borer. A hole leading through the vine with a grub like intruder. You can inoculate with BT solution with a hypodermic or you can slice the critter with a sharp knife then cover the stem with soil. Check the remaining plants, a dose of BT should control them . Google Squash vine borer.HTH Sam

Kind of looks like chemical burn by the pictures.
