Message: It may be that they need time to mature if grown from seed, depending on when they were planted. Leave them in the ground until later in the season.

Message: You were given good information. From your description, your onions and leeks appear to be affected by onion fly. Both onions and leeks belong to the allium family and are affected by the same pests. In the bad old old days, you would use an organophosphate pesticide but we are more enlightened these days. What you did was the right thing, dig them up. Burn, do not compost them, and grow yur onions in another part of the garden to prevent carry-over of the pest into next season.
