Could be a respiratory illness. The shaking/nodding could be heavy breathing.
Please make a vet appointment as soon as you can. Hamsters don't have the best immune systems, so it can be hard to treat them.

Until then, keep your hamsters warm, with easy to reach food and water, in a quiet location. Give more bedding to help him/her nestle down more.
