if you take all of your strings off and let your guitar sit for a couple days, will the neck warp? I did so because my strings were really bad, but once I took em off, I realized I didnt have a pack of new ones...So I won't be able to go out and buy them until tomorrow. So does the lack of pressure on the neck cause it to warp?

No it doesn't cause the neck to warp. Obviously there will be a lack of tension on the neck without the strings, but it shouldn't warp. If you're leaving the strings off for a while it can be a good idea to relax the truss rod a bit (the truss rod is trying to bend the neck backwards to counteract the strings' tension), just like you would if you (dramatically) changed your string guage.
