Yes, of course, you need an redirection for your URLs, redirect all urls from http to https using htaccess

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
 RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

You can try code above to aplly for your webiste.
I think change urls It will affect SEO and ranking keywords but you need to wait and everything will be back.
Hopefully It's useful to you!

Redirect all HTTP to HTTPS and This will increase your search engine visibility as Webmaster Tools help announced to give more ranking to the sites with secure connection in future.

You see Bob, that is exactly why this Forum needs "SEO for Idiots" section

Now "Bob - SEO Expert" learn basics
The reason for that, my little pigeon, because all old backlinks has been pointing to HTTP
without 301 converted to HTTPS site won't get any backlinks juice thus HTTPS will show
