Well if you put them in the fridge sooner they may not carbonate at all
You may have bottle bombs, you may not, it's hard to say. What was the OG? FG? Temperature of the fermented beer? Style of beer?

Use this calculator and see where you are at in Vols of CO2 and place the bottles in a covered tub in case they begin to explode............

That's about 3-3.5 volumes of CO2. Normally ales are around 2.5. It'll be fizzy, but probably won't explode. You can certainly refrigerate and drink it early, but it might still overcarb given enough time. Just check on them once a week, and when they're ready, get them as cold as possible.
What kind of beer is it?

OG was1.058 and FG was 1.011 it's an Irish red that calculator said I should have used 2.7 oz of corn sugar for 2 volumes of CO2. Since its only been two days I was thinking about waiting a day or two putting one in the fridge and seeing how carbonated it is.
