Default Pups Poorly

Never tried bringing up pups indoors over winter before
and i have a problem which i hope someone has experience of and can advise as i dont want to lose them.
I have pups of Lasiocarpa, Cavandish and Velutina.

The leaves on the Lasiocarpa and Cavandish (both 6" tall) are curling inward from the edges to the centre.
The Velutina (18" tall) has gone quite floppy to the extent i had to support it.

This happened today so i moved instantly into panic mode when i got home. I assumed overwatering so i immediately repotted them all in a drier compost/vermiculite mix to "dry" them out.

They are situated on a south facing window above a radiator which is now switched off, just in case that was causing the problem.

Any thoughts on this gratefully received, as i said i have never done this before (with nanas at least) so i am a little in the dark.
