Some how my heater has been unpluged for around 2 days the temp of the tank is 21c is there any problems i should watch out for and should i just rise the temp with the heater straight to 25 or over the week
 
Just raise it back up a couple of degrees per day. Shouldn't cause them too much harm if they are still looking as healthy as could be expected - if they don't show initial symptoms of shock then they'll be fine.
 
Iff the temp droped fast look for signs of swim bladder, columnaris, and whitespot.
Good luck.
 
plug it back in and let it do its thing - the heater wont heat the tank instantly so will bring it back up slowly.

4 degrees is not a major issue... but as Wilder says - keep an eye out for signs of problems.
