Does worshipping God on Sunday violate the first, second, and fourth commandments?
Given that the Sabbath is Saturday not Sunday and Sunday was named after the pagan Sun god?

No. Early Christians met to worship on the first day of the week. Otherwise Paul would not have had to tell the Corinthian saints not to let anybody judge them concerning the Sabbath day. Notice that Jesus kept appearing to his assembled disciples on Sundays, or in Spanish, the day of the Lord.

Yes, the Jewish Sabbath is on Saturday, as it always has been. Which has nothing to do with the fact that the Christian day of worship is on Sunday. The Church Jesus Christ founded, to which He promised the fullness of God's truth, made Sunday the official day of worship because they rightly believed it was more fitting to observe worship on the day of Jesus Christ's glorious Resurrection, than on the day He lay dead in the tomb.

No. In the new Covenant we worship on the day of the Lord's Resurrection.

No.
The First commandment pertains to the status and deity of God
The second pertains to what you worship
The Catholic tradition combines the first two, and then places the command against blasphemy as second.
The fourth, in the Jewish and Protestant interpretation pertains to work/life balance. In the traditional Roman Catholic interpretation this is the third commandment.
In the traditional Catholic interpretation the fourth commandment is to honour your parents.
There is not one single command in the entire Bible which stipulates one specific day of the week as being the only day on which it is permissible to worship.

No. I grew up a Sabbath keeper, and when I started reading my Bible at 13 the first notable thing I realized was that the New Testament speaks against the idea of the Sabbath continuing to be commanded for observance as it had been.
"One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. " Romans 14:5-6.
