Lets say i will leave my pending orders for the weekend. It is not likely but lets assume a huge move happens during the weekend and new week will start with a price that is beyond even the stop loss i put for my pending order. How will the broker most likely execute my order if at all?

That depends on the broker and the speed of the move, but I am careful not to leave large orders open over the weekend for that very reason. Most brokers would execute the order but in my experience the outcome is usually bad. It would be a good idea to research brokers a bit, so that you know which ones are (award winning) preferable and why.

Generally there are filled at the first available price when market reopen after the week-end ... So most likely far from your initial expected entry price.
