If the ammonia test is through the roof, your test may just be reading as high as it will go. It will really stink, but I suggest doing continuous 75% water changes. Maybe 5 total (after checking to make sure your tap water has 0.0 ammonia, this will also make sure your test kit is correct). Fish can't survive at those levels of ammonia, so you'll need to decide what to do ASAP.
