Indirect speech?

Hello!

A speaks to B about C.

A: C is coming in 2 weeks.
C came much later.
B says to A (when C arrives): you said that he was coming in 2 weeks.

Is the changing into indirect speech correct?

Yes, that would be accepted. You can also say "You said that he would be coming in two weeks". It is better style to write out small numbers in words: two .
