Zeus made himself into a swan and then made love to her. He was in the guise of a swan, because he didn't want his wife and the goddess of marriage, Hera to catch him.
As to children, one myth and the one most often told is that she had twins, Apollo and Artemis.
Another version says that Leda had two children with Zeus and two children with her husband Tyndarus, or that Castor was mortal and his twin Polydeuces was immortal. Her daughters Clytemnestra and Helen (yes Helen of Troy) were mortal

Leda laid two eggs (because Zeus slept with her in the form of a swan) - in one egg, there were two girls, Helen and Clytemnestra. In the other egg, there were two boys, Castor and Pollux. However, only Helen and Pollux were the children of Zeus. Clytemnestra and Castor were the children of Leda's mortal husband Tyndareus.
