502 Bad Gateway indicates that your server is not responding and it’s not able to get a valid response from the origin server so you have to wait for some time maybe it will get back on track otherwise read some tutorials about it, I was also facing same issues with my website then after sometime it works normally, But still if not working you can try the steps which were mention above by two respected members.
