Retain an attorney to be sure notice of non-renewal of lease was timely and in compliance with the lease and the law and to commence eviction action as appropriate. Good Luck!

Assuming the notice of non-renewal was timely, you need to file an action to evict them.

As the others have said, you will need to bring an eviction action to have your tenants removed from the property if they stay beyond the term of their lease.
