Look fine to me, but they look a little wilted.

They look fine, get them as much light as possible and keep the soil damp.

They are in a saucer full of water is that ok?

What should I do? I don't want them to wilt completely.

Just do what Branmuffin said. Keep the plants in bright light, and their soil damp. You can accomplish that by keeping them in ~1" of distilled/RO/rain water, and putting them in the sun if your outside conditions are good.

One more question, is that good enough light? (by the way im in Miami so the temperature is similar to North and South Carolina)

I would put them outside on a table in partial shade, and slowly put them in full sun over time.

They should be put outside as they are not an indoor plant! But if you have to keep them inside until temps reach a suitable range, they'll be fine until such time. One other note, make sure the water is distilled, rainwater, or RO (these are all different names for the same thing but they indicate the methods behind how to obtain pure water).

Can you leave them in direct sunlight the entire day?

yes they can be in direct sun all day. these are not shade-loving plants unless the temps get too hot while in full sun. then they appreciate a little shade...

VFTs love the sun! But if you like you can keep them in shade part of the day to acclimatize them. But eventually they should be getting 10+ hours of sunlight a day!

It's less about temperature and more about the brightness of light, especially since you live in Miami I wouldn't worry too much about temperature.
