Will ACT invalidate my scores if I do worse?

So back in October 2017, I took my ACT without writing and got a 33. I was satisfied with my score but once I started looking into college apps, I was made aware that some universities I plan on applying to “strongly recommend” taking the written portion of the ACT. I don’t want to risk them not using my ACT score since it was a lot better than my SAT, so I signed up to take the ACT with writing for this Saturday. The thing is, though, I haven’t studied for the ACT since October when I had a tutor. Right now my practice tests are putting me at around a 28. I know people get their scores cancelled for doing significantly better, but will mine be cancelled if I do significantly worse?
I called ACT about rescheduling and I really don’t want to pay the fee for it, but if I really need to I will. Please, if anyone. has heard of this happening let me know. I’m desperate at this point.
