The trouble is, I have no idea how to make or update a website. I have the vaguest knowledge of HTML, none at all of javascript. Could anybody give me some resources on how to build and maintain web sites?

<a href="http://www.techsoup.org>TechSoup</a> offers $50 Dreamweaver licenses to nonprofits -- that would let you update it in a WYSIWYG environment.
You might also look for a skilled volunteer to assist, especially with any dynamic features such as online donations.

On another note, we are about to lose our free hosting. Does anybody know of a company that will host a non-profit?

Anyone will host a nonprofit. Good free hosting is another matter. Dreamhost is a reasonably reputable host that's offering free hosting to nonprofits right now, although their uptime has been questionable as of late, so proceed with caution.
The good news is that most hosts will help you transfer the site for free, and with a static site, that will be a fairly simple process.
