Not Sure: To me , an abnormal embryos means it was genetically tested with PGD and found to have the wrong number of chromosomes. But one should not use that embryo. So maybe they mean the embryos appeared to be a lower quality embryos. You may want to ask them to clarify things. Your next ultrasound will provide more answers
