There's no way for you to get a visa in just one day, so you can a) abandon the Chinese portion of your trip and change your flights to Tokyo, or b) change your flights so they meet the requirements of 144-hour transit. Keep in mind that for option B you CANNOT travel between Beijing and Shanghai without a tourist visa, so it must only be US-Beijing-Tokyo or US-Shanghai-Tokyo as your onward trip and Tokyo-Beijing-US or Tokyo-Shanghai-US for returning to the US.
