If you have downloaded NuGet.exe You can run: nuget pack Myproject.csproj -IncludeReferencedProjects and this should include all of your projects. Here's a note from the NuGet docs:

If the project references other projects, you can add the referenced projects as part of the package, or as dependencies with -IncludeReferencedProjects option. This is done recursively. For example, suppose you have project A.csproj, which references B.csproj and C.csproj, while B.csproj references D.csproj & E.csproj, C.csproj references F.csproj & G.csproj. Then, when you run:

nuget pack A.csproj -IncludeReferencedProjects

the generated package will contain files from projects B, C, D, E, F & G, in addition to files from project A.

If a referenced project has a corresponding nuspec file with the same name, then that referenced project is added as a dependency instead. Using the same example, suppose now there is file C.nuspec in the same directory as project file C.csproj. When you run:

nuget pack A.csproj -IncludeReferencedProjects

the generated package will contain files from projects B, D, E, in addition to files from project A, and the package has dependency on C.
