First, take a deep breath. It's a scary find, but it's a common problem.
If you're sure it's just the shed and it's not attached to your house, you can try a DIY spot treatment. I had a similar issue with a fence post. I used a termiticide foam (you can get it at any big box store) and injected it directly into the galleries. You have to find the active areas, drill small holes, and pump the foam in. It worked for me, but you have to be thorough.
But a word of caution: if there's any chance this has spread to your house, or if you're not 100% confident, STOP. Termites are not a pest to guess with.
