What should US do if Russia crashes US computer network?

Theoretically speaking, of course.
Let's say that Russia has hacked enough computer data from the USA to be able to disrupt enough of our computer network to cause severe dislocation and economic loss.
Let's say that the USA sends some military supplies or weapons to Ukraine. In response, Russian hackers punch some computer buttons in Moscow and cause severe problems with our computer networks -- dislocation and economic loss.
What should the US response be?

A Rose Garden speech saying that Russia did a bad thing.

We should say "Thank you, sir, may I have another?"

2 red lines. And we're totally serious this time.

Perhaps the same as Iran's response when we hacked their computers and messed up their Honeywell centrifuges.

The U.S., or any country, should treat an attack on its economy as an act of war. Would the U.S. treat it as an act of war is another question.

Fix our computers and stop involving ourselves in Ukraine's problems.

It would certainly be an act of war. Anything that disrupts our economy (intentionally of course) should be considered as such.
What if NK, Russia and China all joined in the festivities collectively? If you notice, there is a severe trend that people are 'stepping up' to us - terrorists, Russia, China to an extent, petrodollars in other currencies. People that don't think these have serious implications are nuts.

our networks is far too distributed for them to be able to make a major impact. Anonymous is a group of very talented hackers, and they couldn't even cause minor disruption.
but if it were to happen, much of anonymous would go after russia's network, which isn't near as resilient. of course, they dont rely on it as much.

That would be an act of war.
The first challenge: was it sanctioned by Russian government or terrorists. It's probably one and the same but it's something we would have to take into account. I'll assume it was sanctioned by Putin.
Secondly: I think the president would have the support of the American people. Everyone would be scared shitless. He could do just about anything. I'd call every one of our allies and tell them that they were going along with the plan to stop trade with Russia whether they liked it or not (probably not a big deal because their economy would be fricked too). Like absolutely no fricking trade until xxx conditions were met.
Someone who demonstrates they can disrupt the U.S. (and world) economy must be stopped at all cost. That's an all in type scenario.
