They typically shrivel up and die within 24 hours if they get too cold, so chances are you're okay for right now but at only 3 week into flower you better pray for another month of good weather.
They are not even close to being ready even if the pistils are brown, though the cold may speed things up some in terms of looks the potency and smell/taste isn't going to be all there.

There are some things you can do to help mitigate the damage of future frosts though.
Obviously covering them up at night with something is good but that's not always possible,
You can take milk jugs and paint them black then fill them with sand and water, the sun will heat them up during the day then they will give off heat throughout the night helping to ward off the frost
