My plants seem to be dying or might be infected with something, but my pumpkin is still growing. Is there anything I can do to keep em alive long enough? I'm at day 16 with this pumpkin at about 25-30lbs.

unfortunately a pumpkin that small at this time of the year is not likely to survive a diseased plant.
it may also be a borer if the only effected area is on a single vine? tough to guess .
difficult enough to hold on when disease strikes even when the fruit is well established and close to pickin time.
high humidity and wet conditions are also prime time for plant diseases and fungal types.--------------when it rains it spores.

Most of the leaves have turned yellow and died off. But where the vine the pumpkin is on its all green and healthy looking. I have maybe a few good healthy vines, but most of em have or starting to die off. I'll try to upload a picture of it today.
