come back from holiday, 3 out of 5 upstairs radiators not hot?

I have just returned from holiday and turned my heating back on, all the downstairs radiators are fine, 3 out of 5 radiators upstairs don`t warm up.

Is this because I turned off the heating whilst away for 2 weeks, do they just need bleeding?

Thanjs

if rads were full of water then suspect thermostatic rad valves stuck.
