Doubtful. Though it was not said per se, the impression was given that everyone got captured and replaced in one fell swoop. That being said, the citizens of Ponyville likely woke up in captivity alongside their royalty and champions. Oh, there may have been a malcontent or two asking why didn't the alicorns protect them, but I imagine the general focus was on the current predicament and finding a way to escape and in turn defeat their captor.
