You're going to need to borrow or buy a wired USB keyboard and mouse to correct this. (I'd buy in inexpensive set to keep handy for times like this.) You can even borrow a Windows keyboard and mouse.
Connect the USB devices and restart the Mac.
Re-enable Bluetooth by clicking the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar. If the icon is not there, click System Preferences > Bluetooth and ensure that the box at the bottom of that window is check marked.
Proceed to reconnect your wireless devices. make sure they are charged and powered on.

Get and use a USB keyboard and mouse to access the iMac and turn on the Bluetooth back on.
