Brief Answer:
Yes, you should go to emergency and get done blood report

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Cold and hot sweats can be due to infection.
So better to get done blood report like complete blood count (CBC) to rule out infection.
If infection is there then you may need antibiotic drug.
Please let me know
1. Which drugs you are taking for COPD?
2. What was your last PFT report?
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
