Am I breaking a law by doing this? Or would this be wrongful termination?

I work in a restaurant currently and yesterday I got offered a job in a field of construction that I’m going to do mon-thurs(starting next week) to continue my restaurant job part time. I notified my manager yesterday(a day or two before they usually make the next weeks schedule) that starting next week my availability is changing to Friday and Saturday only as I will be working my other new job. They said “no because someone is on vacation and usually you give 2 weeks notice for schedule changes” so they don’t have enough people to cover those shifts next week. So my question is if I just don’t show up Monday-Thursday after notifying them of my availability change and they fire me(assuming they do) would that be wrongful termination? Or am I actually required to give a 2 week notice of my schedule change?
