If your fish are going to mate, this will typically begin when the female is full of eggs. The male will chase her and poke his head against her side and belly in an attempt to get her to release eggs. If she does, the male will then release what is called milt in an attempt to fertilize the eggs.
Unless you have plenty of room to raise the fry, you can leave the eggs in the tank for a day as the fish will eat them, and any eggs remaining should be removed as unfertilized eggs will grow fungus.
If you have the room to raise the fry, then you need to remove as many eggs as you can to a small dish with tank water; there is no need to remove the goldfish from their tank.

Can you breed goldfish in a one gallon tank?
No. A one gallon tank is not appropriate for a singular goldfish much less multiple. A ten gallon tank is the bare minimum for a singular goldfish and breeding would require a tank of twenty gallons or more. A one gallon tank cannot handle the chasing that proceeds goldfish mating nor maintain a water quality that is suitable for raising goldfish fry.

What is the difference between goldfish mating and goldfish fighting?
I've been keeping goldfish for nearly 20 years and have never seen a fight. They are very social and usually very nice to each other. What you are prob witnessing is mating behaviour. Males can get pretty aggressive when spawning, sometimes to the point of stressing the female to death. It's best to move one of them to another tank if possible or to find some way to separate them at least temporarily to let the female rest.
What does it mean when a goldfish is nipping the other goldfish?
If theyre different types of goldfish, check theyre suitable to live with each other. If they are, then theyre just fighting over space because the tanks too small. If that's the case, get a bigger one asap. Remember one goldfish needs 10 gallons of water >_< So a couple will need a LOT!!
