Did you just recently get them? Sometimes Crypts are grown emersed and can melt as they adapt to below water life.

Hmmm that's odd. Crypts are lower light requirement. Only thing I can think of is that those may have been older leaves and died off naturally. Usually if a plant is producing off-shoots that's a sign that it's in good health.

Yeah that's what I thought as well...still though most of them have lost half their mass in leaves...

Not too worry. Crypts are pretty resilient and will most likely bounce back. Sometimes they go through a melt if adjusting to new water parameters as far as pH goes. Then they bounce back.

Full moon maybe?
Crpyts something throw fits for whatever reason: Maybe you disturbed them, maybe something in your water parameters changed, maybe the temperature chaged. They'll usually grow back fairly fast.
The little plants are just baby plants. Give them a bit to put on some size, and you can move them about your tank.
