Nah. If you can skate you can skate. Sure you will notice a change. Cause
Obviously there is a difference
However nothing that you can’t pick up really fast
That’s like saying I know how to ride a bike but switching from a road speed bike to a mountain bike might be too hard lol nah

They’re very different. Also, getting laid out is probably something figure skaters aren’t used to or built for
