It could be that your leaf curl is just natural, they do tend to do that when they are growing very fast at this time of year, at the top of the plant. Maybe a photo would help us confirm.

Yes it will start again, it just needs time to recover. These modern all female cucumbers tend to 'stall' after they produce the first flush of fruit.I always pick off the first 3 or 4 embryonic fruit which does slightly delay getting them, but the plant then goes full steam ahead and...

I used diluted washing up liquid on my Broad Beans which suddenly became covered with black fly overnight!! Wiped them out in no time leaving a few for the ladybirds to feast on.
