It could mean several things..of course the most obviuos is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) if you mean your first 3 fingers and not your little finger. This is the area that the median nerve controls and when compressed or pinch can give you CTS. Usually symptoms are worse at night..and can be an ache, numbnees and tingling. Other things can mimic CTS like a pinched nerve in your neck..which can give you the same pattern of symptoms in the hand and Ulnar neuritis usually effects the last 2 fingers of your hand and is caused by an inflamation or injury to the ulnar nerve which goes through your elbow into your hand.

What does it mean if your pinky and index finger are numb on one hand and have been numb for over a night?

Most likely, you've pinched a nerve. It's also possible that you've slept with your arm under you and bent at the elbow, compressing the nerve that leads to those two fingers. I, myself, suffer this quite often, but that's because I have a severed nerve in my left hand that causes those two fingers to remain numb for the rest of my life. It causes some havok from time to time as well. A couple days ago, I burned those two fingers on a hot pan that had just come out of the oven, and didn't realize that the burns were 2nd degree burns until I looked at them.

Numbness on left side of left hand and last two fingers on left hand and left foot?

If it's your hand, you've either smacked or pinched your ulna nerve. It's located near your elbow. It will temporarily make your pinky and ring finger go numb. This can sometimes last for days. The same thing can happen in your foot if you pinch the corresponding nerve near your knee.
