I read some articles on some people who form pneumonia in one night which leads to sepsis and amputation. how to know when a cold is at this step?

You feel AWFUL: Yes people can get pneumonia "overnight". The article you read describes extreme conditions and not every "cold" becomes pneumonia. If you have a cold that is getting worse then be seen.
