How do I Transpose the key of c major to the key of c?

It depends on each instrument. Strings and some band instruments such as Trombone, tuba, and flute are in the key of C so you don't have to transpose them. Other instruments like Clarinet and trumpet are in the key of B flat so if you want them to play a C you have to tell them to play a D because everything they play sounds a A whole note below what you tell them to play. Not all band instruments are in the key of B flat thought. French horn and English horn for example are in the key of F. There are many different kinds of instruments and different keys they are in.

Are there any transposing instruments pitched in A flat?

In short - no. At least, there are no "regular orchestral" or band instruments in Ab that I have ever come across. There are some ancient folk instruments that are tuned to whatever key make them sound good and some of them are in Ab, however, they are "one-ofs" and similar instruments might not be in the same key. The harmonicas are a family of instruments in different keys, so they would have Ab instruments (blues, tremolo, maybe even chromatic) and I believe concertinas (diatonic accordions) come in all or most keys, as well.
