Default Engine/exhaust sound suddenly lower, sluggish

2014 C7 convertible, about 117,000 miles

I was just driving to work, and while driving, the pitch of the exhaust/engine sound suddenly drops very low and it feels sluggish, kind of like the feeling when you are in too high of a gear for the speed. It still automatically shifts and I have resorted to using manual mode. There is no check engine light.

Anyone have an idea as to what's going on?

[EDIT]
Now there is a CEL. Got my OBD reader:
P0030 H02S Heater Control Circuit Bank 1 Sensor
P0031 H02S Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0050 H02S Heater Control Circuit Bank 2 Sensor 1
P0051 H02S Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 2 Sensor 1
P0443 Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit
P0458 Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit Low
P3403 Cylinder 1 Deactivation / Intake Valve Control Circuit Low
P3427 Cylinder 4 Deactivation / Intake Valve Control Circuit Low
P3443 Cylinder 6 Deactivation / Intake Valve Control Circuit Low
P3451 Cylinder 7 Deactivation / Intake Valve Control Circuit Low
