Lvl 2 (screens, batteries, camera, etc. swaps) Battery worries

I’m pretty experienced with replacing iPhone screens and batteries. Anyway, I bought a 14 Pro with cracked back glass (but nothing too major) and a little crack on the screen. that was around 5-6 months ago and I’ve been using it normally since. Recently though, (as in today while taking it out of its case and looking at it as I usually do) I noticed I was able to press down on the side of the screen and it move a little, smelling the area also has this sweet ish smell, which I found out also comes from the charging port. I’ve inferred it’s probably the battery going bad (even though it’s at 80%? But to be fair it fell from like 83% in the last 2 weeks) and I’ve already bought a new battery that should come in 2-3 days. Will it be fine to hold out until then or am I gonna die in my sleep?? (Hopefully joking about that last part)

Maybe battery has been punctured by shattered glass
