Take the lavender back to the nursery for an exchange (check it over carefully) or refund.
If, for some reason, you don’t want to do that, then make sure that they are indeed cabbage worms, and then dust with Dipel (organic) to kill them.
They won’t disappear on their own, no. Even if they leave the lavender, it will be for something else nearby, and the adults lay eggs faster than you can believe.
