So I submitted my apps on the 31st but just realized this mistake after talking to a friend…
In Junior year, I took two APs: Physics and Calc BC. I got a 2 in Physics and a 4 in BC and 4 AB subscore.
I self-reported my BC and AB Subscore in the “Testing” section, didn’t report my failing physics score.
So I forgot to report the AP tests I’m “planning” to take, which are Chem, Stats, and Physics II.
What should I do? Is this a big issue?
Not an issue.
IMO, do nothing. Not an issue.
It’s the scores you’d “like to report,” plus your transcript will reflect that you took to classes. Don’t worry.

Won’t colleges think negatively on me for taking AP classes but not planning to take the tests/reporting them when the time comes?
No.
As an example, unless your high school requires it, IMO, there is no reason to take an AP test if the school you will be attending does not offer credit. Otherwise, you’re just wasting $90+.
Additionally, self-reporting is stated on the Common App as being optional. Take such statements at face value - if the college required you to report scores on the app, they would tell you.
Self reporting is just that. No worries.
Obvious it is before the registration deadline for AP exam when you submit the CommonApp. No one can judge you on not putting down upcoming test.
This is about tests you plan to take, after your admits are in. It’s not worth worrying about.
You were right, imo, to report the two 4 scores.
