When i plotted the function x^33333333333333333

I saw  
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/sx2orydxzk?embed  
The arm towards negative infinity goes up instead of down.

But I expected the arm towards negative infinity to go down

This is very easy to check (-1)^33333333333333333 is equal to -1 because 33333333333333333 is odd. But when you see the graph it reads 1.

I think there are maybe some overflow problems.

Yes, those are overflow problems:  
the biggest integer number that demos can handle is: 2^53-1  
now: log(2^53) = 15.95  
and: log(33333333333333333) = 16.5  
so you are exceeding the calculation capacities.
