Do i need to change the current, week old fluid right away now that i pushed it past the boiling point already? Will it be safe to wait till next track day?

Hell no, and neither will Motul be enough. Motul won't cut it with our heavy cars.
Castrol SRF, Brembo HTC64T, Endless RF650 ot Torque 700 are the only choices of high temp, high quality track ready brake fluids.
You will have to flush ALL the old fluid out. And do the ABS bleed procedure too.
High quality brake fluid is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy for a track day. There are many characteristics that define brake fluids and the above four choices will have what it needs for track day safety and fun.
Castrol SRF is usually the go-to for a good balance of cost and quality. The others are more expensive but have some different characteristics, for which does not make the SRF a lesser quality item.

You mentioned your pedal went to the floor. What car, pad, cooling setup do you have? Looks like a non- 1LE SS. Did you install the large brake cooling deflectors that came in the trunk of the car?
