I pulled the relief valve now on 2 of my kegs and both had no pressure. They both were naturally carbed with priming sugar over a week ago.

My question: Can i just leave the beer has is and once i want to drink force carb?

I will be rebuilding them once they are empty.
 
My guess is you never had a good seal. So natural CO2 leaked out. Did you seal the lids by hitting them with some pressure? Regardless, you should be able to force carb now.
 
Yes i hit both with 20-30psi and purged a few times. Maybe too much. They need to be reconditioned i believe though. There old o-rings it seems. I have 1 kit need to get a few more.

Can you get the o-rings from a local store?
