Brewing a batch of American Wheat RIGHT NOW!
and I tried to change the temp of my beer fridge in time (I don't have a temp controller) but it looks like I'll be in the primary with my fridge temp around 50+....

Is this too cold for this yeast?
 
I assume you mean Wyeast 1056, American ale yeast? If so, yes, that's a bit too cold.

Very clean, crisp flavor characteristics. Low fruitiness and mild ester production. Slightly citrus like with cool (60-66F, 15-19C) fermentation temperatures. Versatile yeast, which produces many beer styles allowing malt and hop character to dominate the beer profile. Flocculation improves with dark malts in grain bill. Normally requires filtration for bright beers. DE or pad filtration recommended.

Origin:
Flocculation: Medium-Low
Attenuation: 73-77%
Temperature Range: 60-72F, 15-22C
