If you already rolled them don't do it again. When the eggs are laid there is no "right side up". A short time after laying, 24 hours or so, the embryo implants to the egg. This is done in relation to the positioning of the egg, maybe cued by gravity. If the eggs are turned after this then they will die in the egg during development.



Hopefully the inital turn was early enough to not cause damage, but whatever you do don't turn it again!! Even a slow careful turn results in an upside down egg.
