Don't worry about Corgis being what you consider overweight when they are only several weeks to a few months old. Much better fat than slim at these stages.
I would be concerned at puppies with very noticeable tracts of pink on their noses. You should be able to stand a pup of six weeks on a table for closer inspection and to be able to feel their bone sructure for sturdinesss. With a bit of propping by one of your hands, you should be able to coax a pup into a standing position on the table. If they can't stand up straight on all fours for a short time then that is a concern. There very well might be a calcium deficiency.
If the puppies walk or run crab-like, then that is a worry. Big-eyed,sparkly-eyed, alert and alive and full of action is what you really want to see in a Corgi pup. So if you saw them when they are half asleep or half awake, call again just before a feeding time. That would be good, to ensure that the pups are really stacking into their meal.
I am not a believer in getting two Corgis the same age at any time. You're experienced enough to know that you don't leave a pup or even eight pups on their own all day at aged two months or six months and you may have to engage someone to check on her/him/them during the day (at least once) for food and recreation.
