As the saying goes around here we are not Doctors and can not make a diagnoses. With that said I feel safe in agreeing with Dragonflymagic in that it sounds like you over did for what sounds like a first workout. You need to ease into working out to give your muscles a chance to adjust and build up to the workout.
I suffer from Chronic back pain and when I am in pain I use both heat and ice. Since it has already been some time since you stressed your muscles ice should help. Apply the ice pack for 15 minutes then off for 15 minutes. If you have access to a Jacuzzi or hot tub this will help as well.
Do not work out until the pain subsides. If the pain does not subside in a day or two then you should contact a sports medicine doctor, who is an orthopedic doctor, and get checked out. It is possible you tore a muscle. If so this will take time to heal and you will need or should have physical therapy to help the healing.
When you do go back to working out ease into it. Fifty squats are a lot for a first time. Ten to 15 would be better the same for what ever else you are doing. Then take the next day off or exercise a different part of your body. You do Cardio one day and something else the next then cardio again the day after.
Should you still be in school contact one of the physical education teachers for a workout plan and schedule. It may be possible to have your workout after school supervised by the physical education department. IF so I would suggest you join and do your workout that way.

As we all usually start off, we're not doctors and even a Dr. isn't allowed to guess by just reading what you wrote and give a diagnosis, tests and scans and such need to be done.
I would think that you got a little exuberant and pushed your muscles beyond what could be considered a healthy amount of stress on them to strengthen them. When that happens, its common to have sore muscles and even some pain. Usually a person would be told to ice sore painful muscles. I am adding a link to a blog about the difference of applying ice or heat and how to's.

Dr.s may suggest ibuprofen to help during the period of recovery while muscles are still causing pain and soreness. I over did my leg muschles once when in early twenties and on a womens soccer team. I over exercised my legs and then played a Fri and Sat game. When it came to Sunday morning at church and kneeling for prayer, I found I could not get back up. My brain sent the message to my legs and I felt them trying but no power behind them as they were over strained and I needed help getting into my chair again. I couldn't get my legs to work for me no matter what. They recovered in time. So it may be the same deal for you. However, I do know also from Chiropracters that muscles if too tight can help to pull bones out of alignment, not badly but enough to cause pain. Perhaps your lower back is being pulled out of alignment. Theres no way to know if you just need a few days to recover back to normal or if you will require Drs. help. I would suggest taking it very easy for the weekend. NO exercise at all, as little walking and standing as possible and probably icing it.
However, you also need to advise your parents as to what is going on in case you are not fully recovered by Monday for school. They will need to write to note to the school for you to take in to the office, so you can get excused from any gym or sports team activities and also given the grace of extra time to make it traveling between classes if your legs slow you down that much.
In the future, learn to know what is a healthy limit to such exercises. A certain amount is good and strengthens you. Overdoing it can injure you.
If by Monday or end of Monday you are not showing some improvement, then its up to the parents to schedule you to see the family Dr.
