when you stop exercising insulin sensitivity decreases in the muscle cell so nutrient uptake is decreased. when the muscles are not exercised glucose uptake is minimal so the muscles do not feel as full. there typically will be no actual loss of muscle with such a short break from training. your strength will return quickly do to neurological adaptation

Take BCAAs - branched chain amino acids - to keep your size on while taking a break from lifting.

It probably atrophied some. ( Atrophy: a wasting or decrease in size of a body organ, tissue, or part which can be due to lack of use).
