I ran into the exact same problem in 2 different playthrough. Everyone will just stay idle, some will move (or more like wiggle a little bit here and there), and some will just stand still. No matter what commands you give them, they would just stay idle, until they become hungry (and maybe eventually die of hunger maybe? I haven't had the patience to sit there and find out).
I don't know if this has to do with anything but the first playthrough when this happened, I didn't run into the blackmailing goblin lord. Had a couple of battles before that (2 -3 enemies every time). Problem happens on Day 16 Deepmun 1000. The second time this problem happened, it was right after I gave the things that goblin lord wanted, Day 14 Deepmun 1000.

I have the bad habit of ignoring and closing the error message boxes knowing its early access. Will do a third playthrough to see if I can reproduce this again, and screenshot the massive lua errors.
