I'm not sure where you are located but we have 2 6 month old piglets in our open barn right now and the night lows have been in the single digits and tonight its going to be below zero. With a protected spot out of the wind and lots of hay they should be fine. Did you see if they were eating grain at the place you picked them up at? If you make a slurry of milk and grain they should eat it. If they weren't weaned before you got them there might be a period where they don't seem to be growing, but they will start getting bigger in no time. I'm sure Walter will chime in with more experienced advice, but I don't think you should worry to much.
