Wrong Oil :(

I just recently bought a 2006 Saturn ION level 2. It's got 24k on it
and I went to get my oil changed and accidentally asked for 10W30
instead of 5W30(Owners manual recommended oil). I live in buffalo,
it's pretty cold up here, is this going to screw up my engine if I
don't get it fixed immediately? I noticed that the engine sounds a
tiny bit louder, I just hope I didn't do anything that I'll regret
later.

Depends on the engine. If it's 5w30 for milage only then no. If it's 5W30
because of small passages then you should change it. If it's too cold
where you are for 10W30 based on the owners manual, then it should be
changed. Probably best to find a group that is saturn specific to get a
good answer.
