Very strange. In any case, they can't hurt you or the plants. In fact, it might even be beneficial. But if it is a red earthworm, you only have to wait for a little while and it/they will die. Earthworms need plenty of organic material to feed on, so unless you add something, they'll run out of food and be gone.
I'd suggest getting someone to help you repot. Would solve the problem and you wouldn't need to kill anything. Just dump the old soil out onto the garden somewhere. Wash the pot and roots, and use all new medium. That's should do it.
