The leaves were turning yellow and dying, I thought it was a virus. Now I just found caterpillars in the buds. Where do they come from and how do I avoid getting them and how do I get rid of them? These plants are ruined now right? Please help me.

They generally come from moths, they lay eggs on your plants. the eggs hatch into caterpillars and they start eating your buds. Horrible thing to happen to your plants. You need something with Bacillus Thuringiensis in it to kill them.
This would work and is safe for humans/mammals
I’d do a bud wash after harvest to clean out all the caterpillar poop.
