Wild ducks seem to be very smart and resilient in situations like that. Its likely no harm was done, it seems to take more than that to scare em off, at least with ones like that here.
A few years ago, I saw the ducks in our small pond, with young, and wanted to take a few photos of the young for an elderly person to enjoy. So I briefly interrupted nature to do so, and caught the entire brood, put em in a large pan of water and took some photos, they were a little frightened at first, one of them was really cool, I got the best photos of him, kind of made my day how friendly he was.
When I first grabbed them, and they are fast, the mother took off, landed in the nearby large pond, which is connected by a creek, surrounded by brush and other forms of cover. She turned around and swam up the creek, to do some "reconnoitering", I saw her, she was not going far from the last place she saw the young. Well I brought them all back and set em free in the large pond, where the mouth of the creek enters it, and they happily swam out and the mother (hen) joined them immediately, she was on watch the entire time and I had taken them 500 yds away at the furthest.
I called him "Joe Cool" and I think the photo corroborates that LOL

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
