Recently, my family has been having problems with the A/C, so I went to the outside of the house to check the disconnect box. Inside the disconnect box were 3 eggs. Because I live in Florida and brown anoles are very common here, I'm assuming these are brown anole eggs. Out of curiosity and never owning and sort of lizards before, I took the eggs in and placed them inside an unoccupied 12x12x18 enclosure.

After doing further reading on the internet, it is very dangerous to move these eggs. Once the embryo settles in, if the egg is moved/rotated, the embryo could drown. I did not know this prior to moving the eggs into my enclosure. It's been a couple weeks since I've found the eggs and the egg doesn't have any weird tint to it to signify it is rotten. Is there any chance any baby anoles are going to pop out these eggs?

In my experience, most lizard species egg stake 45 to 60 days to hatch. You're right, you never want to move or change the orientation of lizard eggs if at all possible as the embryo should be right side up. You can check the position of the embryo by candling the egg.
