What can I do to get more time and show the court, in order to make myself financially stable to leave a foreclosed house?
My house which I have lived in with my family for many decades got foreclosed and
auctioned. I have disability which is the only source of income for my household
with my other children. How may I be able to show the court that I need more time
to be financially stable and because of medical reasons, in order to leave the
house?

You do not have a right to stay longer due to your own financial or medical situation. The new owner of the home (whomever bought it at auction) is not legally required to be your benefactor (by providing you a place to live) or to allow you to remain in their property if they don't want you there, even if leaving the home imposes a hardship on you. To be blunt, legally, your issues are your issues, not the problems or concerns of whomever bought the house after foreclosure, and that person or entity (e.g. business or bank) does not have any responsibilities or obligations to you.
