It is completely normal for your crabs to be active during the day no worries!

This sounds like it may have been a bit of panic on their part? They can get stressed by changes, and an overactive crab is usually a freaked out crab. It's okay, there's really no way to avoid when you need to do maintenance. I'm betting they were settled back down by the next day?
