I found this really nice pepper plant I want to plant into a pot, however it took time to do it and this is where it is at right now. It's drooping badly and worst part is that it's going to be kinda cold for the next few days (15 degrees Celsius today and tomorrow, 12 degrees Celsius the day later)
Can this plant still going to be fine? I really hope it is and the pot is big for it

I think those temps might just turn out to be a blessing. Keep it moist (but not too wet) and give it some partial shade. Water the soil, not the plant itself (keep the keaves dry). It could very well perk up in a day or two at most. While this looks a bit extreme, plants can get a reaction like this after being transferred to a new pot.
Did you just water it? It looks like drainage is good, but if it is cold right now, dial back your watering. If you can, I’d recommend bringing your plant inside. 12 degrees won’t kill it but it also won’t help it out. If you can bring it indoors and leave near widow with good sunlight exposure, it should recover just fine! Don’t worry, it’s not dead!
