didn't realize I left my pc on overnight. Came back to it to see almost all the vms had yellow triangles.

Computer doesn't go to sleep or anything, and alL i woke was the monitor and possibly hdd. System has 16gb of memory, was only a couple appvms and sys-vms and not much open in them.

should I be worried? lol.

Maybe check your dom0 logs to see if qmemman is reporting any problems?
Might have to enable loglvl=all in the hypervisor command line.

I might just upgrade to 4 and backup w/e data I have (pictures) . And see how it is.

This is a known issue:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3265

A workaround is to do 'sudo systemctl qubes-qmemman.service' in dom0. It
will stop working again, so you may need to repeat it or put it in a
timed loop.
