Since yesterday I can't connect through ssh to all of my Debian wheezy instances on my google cloud. I can connect only through the web console. When the web console tries to negotiate the session, there's a message telling me to update the Linux guest environment. But for wheezy, there is no Linux guest environment package.

Do you have any idea to resolve this issue ?

Debian 7 images were deprecated a while a go and as there are no update packages for the Guest Environment, the best approach would be to migrate to Debian 8 or 9.

To access your VMs you might try one of the following options:

1) According to this public issue the old guest environment still work with deprecated keys. If you have an SSH client configured with an old private key, you might still have access to your VMs through it.

2) Accessing the VM via the serial console

3) Mounting, as secondary, the original disk or a copy of it in a VM you do have access to. The steps are very similar to the section “Inspect an instance without shutting it down” on this document". That would allow you to recover your data.
