Curly leaf is caused by leaf miner and looks terrible but doesn't hurt the tree. Nurseries just cut it off. Leaves do fall off citrus trees with the weather change. I suggest you give them some seasol ( a trace element treatment ) and then leave them alone. Do check leaves for scale ( you will have ants as well ) and treat if needed. Otherwise depending on the season only water .
--the old adage 'feed a cold, starve a fever' comes into play with plants -- don't feed a stressed or infected plant.. you need to contact your local Agricultural Agency for help --- who diagnosed 'Curly Leaf' -- there are lots of causes for the condition -- pests, fungus, etc. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/citrus/curling-citrus-leaves.htm
