May I ask where your location is in the game? Maybe there are people nearby who will automatically join in the fight? (or a dragon will swoop down and start attacking everything in sight...)
Which weapons do you have and do you have any spells? My favourite spell are the conjuration ones - it's so good to have an extra creature on your side :)
I got them too. They're hard, but not unbeatable. Find a strategy that works - hide behind rocks, buy a shitload of potions, run into a town and try to position a guard between them and you so they hit them and anger them - stuff like that.
If all else fails, you can just turn the difficulty down. :P
Once you kill them, search their corpses to find out why they're after you.
Sometimes, when you steal things, the person you've stolen it from will hire mercenaries to come after you (one of them will have a contract on them). I think the only way to shake them off is to, well, kill them. If they're only attacking outside of cities you could spend time inside cities trying to level up, but if they're coming after you inside too I'm not sure how to help. If you can get to Markarth there's a guy in the Silver-Blood Inn called Vorstag, who you can hire, and he might be able to help you win against the thugs.
I just got one of these groups (for pickpocketing a courier a looooong time ago) when I was about to pickpocket somebody for the Thieves Guild lol everybody just stood around and watched while I killed them, and then afterwards they were like 'oh, what happened?'
the city guards won't help you as far as I know... the only person who will help is anyone who you've hired or who is tagging along like a housecarl or other follower
