It is irrelevant. Once the fixes are implemented, the price should recover. Have a look at what happened yesterday when a solution was ready to be implemented - the price suddenly turned around in force. The price went down again when plan B was given a chance first. It is only temporary while everyone waits for the POS block that the price is going down. This is mainly due to the uncertainty of the future of the coin with this approach. The approach is necessary though to give the current dev a chance. The next steps will be discussed by the community after the 48 hours staking test.
when will the 48 hour end?
When there is consensus.
But is there a new wallet that needs to be downloaded to be on the right chain? My wallet won't go higher than block 6000?? I'm just a little confused on what is happening with the coin and the problem with the wallets? If someone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated

Don't worry. You are in the same boat with everybody else. Everybody is currently stuck at block 6000 even with that "new" wallet. That was the one that was suppose to work but did not. It looks like the current state is to wait for a bit longer to see if coins at Bittrex will stake before the next move.
The next move would be to get the new wallet spots has ready deployed to everyone to get the chain moving again. (no block reward) When this is done people can move coins and a totally new blockchain will need to be put in place with migration path for the coins on this old non-functioning chain. Spots stated he does not want to fix and maintain this poor original code which makes complete sense.
