Hey, I know this is difficult right now, but let me reassure you! It's just temporary.
I have learned with my daughter, too, that toys and distractions need to be kept out of her sleeping area. Just quietly and without fuss today (not at bedtime when it might become a fight) slip in there and put the toys away, and keep them in another area where she plays - except maybe a special lovey, a comfort item. (In general, too, it's a good idea to keep the bed a spot where play doesn't happen, so she doesn't associate it with play, but with sleepiness. One exception might be while she's getting familiar with her new bed and you spend quiet time there together, if you think that willh elp her feel safer and more comfortable there at night.) Then, just keep gently reminding her that it's sleepy time. She will settle earlier and earlier in the process. It's just that the whole situation is novel. Don't make a big deal out of it, don't make it a fight, whatever you do. Truly. BE BORING :) Even "play dead." (The hard part is not starting to laugh when she pulls out her cutest antics.) And within a few nights or a week or so, she'll get it. There will be no reason for her to stay awake, so she'll settle in. Then, what you do, is leave earlier and earlier in the process. There is a fantastic description, with various tips that you might want to incorporate, in No-Cry Sleep Soloution by Elizabeth Pantley.
Same thing with the midnight waking. Except be ready for it. If you listen closely about 5-10 minutes before her expect waking time, you will probably start to notice the "wake-up sequence" starting. So, all you do is nip it in the bud. Get in there and gently, quietly lay down next to her and put your hand on her in a comforting way BEFORE she wakes. She will probably just settle right back down to sleep. If she does wake, it will be for less time, and a whole lot less traumatic for the both of you, and you can slip away quietly back to your bed. Soon, because she is, on a deep level, aware that her needs are being met and that she's safe, she won't be doing this midnight waking. Just give it a few nights or a week or so. You'll see!
She's just scared in her new sleeping situation, that's all. That crib was a secure place. Now things look different. This is why I'm so glad that you've been so loving and comforting with her, because you're tending to her emotional needs. Her sleep needs are coming right along! As long as you don't make sleep a tense or scary place to be, transitions like this one won't become a true nightmare. All you need to do is tweak your approach in order to make your life a lot simpler and more restful during this temporary, transitional, disruption.
Meanwhile, consider going back to napping when she naps, if you are a SAHM, so that being up more at night is less of a drag on you!
Hang in there! You're actually really close to seeing a whole lot of improvement! Mark my words. See how much easier it is tonight.
