I am trying to make this survival map but it will be using many command blocks. I don't want this big cube of bedrock so I want my command blocks to be 1000000+ blocks away, but the command blocks do not run. How do I make it work that far away? I am in Minecraft 1.12 or up when the next update comes out.

Put them in the Spawn Chunks
The Spawn Chunks are a 16×16 set of chunks centered around your world spawn. These chunks are loaded at all times, unless no player has been in the overworld in the last 60 seconds*.
While some mechanisms are not processed when no player is around, such as plant growth or entities, redstone and command blocks are executed normally.
* According to the wiki. However, I have not been able to observe the unloading of the chunks on 1.8.7 in a singleplayer test world. IIRC SP is functionally identical to MP.
You can make a scoreboard:
/scoreboard objectives add time dummy
Create a entity which counts for you:
/summon ArmorStand ~ ~1 ~ {CustomName:"timeCounter",CustomNameVisible:1}
Make it it invisible and a marker if you want:
/summon ArmorStand ~ ~1 ~ {CustomName:"timeCounter",CustomNameVisible:0,Marker:1b,Invisible:1,Invulnerable:1,NoBasePlate:1,NoGravity:1}
Then a repeating command block which increases this scoreboard every tick (20 ticks = 1 second):
/scoreboard players add @e[CustomName:"timeCounter"] time 1
Put your commands into an execute:
/execute @e[score_time_min=200] ~ ~ ~ effect @a 16 10 1 true
/execute @e[score_time_min=200] ~ ~ ~ time set day
Change the 200 to whatever seconds you want * 20:
Sorry, I first understood your question wrong, just remove the reset.

Have you considered using functions (and particularly using
gamerule gameLoopFunction <function file>) instead? You can replace most of your command blocks fairly easily, although you'll probably still want some to conditionally call some other functions (either after a testing command (liketestforortestforblock, among others) orexecute-ing against a selector (and using the new@sselector in the function)). Conditional operation within functions is in some cases easier to do, and in others a bit harder, but for the most part is still pretty easy.If you can run everything off a single
gameLoopFunction(that possibly calls other functions), then you don't have to worry about a single command block in your world. If you do need some command blocks, for whatever reason, then just make sure to place them in the world spawn chunks. You did make sure to set the world spawn to (0,0) when you started, right? That's the first step in the map-maker's handbook. A small bedrock lined room at the bottom of the world isn't going to be much of a hindrance, especially if it's only 5 blocks tall and contains only a few dozen command blocks. Most of the time, it's pretty easy to hide something like that.
