I have had a similar thing happen... One day all of a sudden lost all traffic from Google on one site and did not get any for a long while. Later, noticed that we had two domains (there was a dash in one of them) but one of the domains did not redirect. We set up a domain level redirect and not too much later we started getting traffic from Google again.

So, I would set up redirects as soon as possible!!
