You have to be careful what you buy. Most of them will be the 559 mountain bike wheels, which are way too small. If you find a 3 speed bike with 26x1 3/8 wheels, you could make the wheel fit by adjusting the brakes. I would try to stick with the original wheels, though.
Here is an article that explains the 26 inch wheel conundrum:
