502 typically means something along the lines of the app serving the website wasn’t up when nginx started. Sometimes this is simply a case of programs starting in the wrong order, and restarting nginx will fix the issue. It could also mean the app serving the website is broken.
Whatever the issue is, it’s something for the admin to fix.
