Yes platys give live birth but this only means the egg hatch inside the fish,Before the babies and the broken shells are born.

What i think might have happened is the embryo inside the eggs have died so the fish have released the dead eggs,This do happen from time to time.

It can be because of stress or as a result of bad water quality.
