You can use "were you crying then" if a shorter event to the act of crying is referred to by "then". On the contrary, "did you cry" refers to a specific moment in a wider event, being "then" the event. Let us see an example:
a) the act (to cry) is LONGER in time than the event (unexpected visit)
- Tom arrived unexpectedly to the office right after the boss fired me.
- Were you crying then?
- Yes I was. I was crying all day!
b) the act (cry) is SHORTER in time than the event (movie)
- We went to the movies last night and we watched a drama
- Did you cry?
- Yes, in the moment the protagonist died.

Well,the first one is in past continuous tense and the second one is in past indefinite tense.
The first sentence mean that (_) was doing a work for some duration of time which was continuous i.e., it continued for some time .
The second sentence meant that (_) cried no matter for how long did he do but he had cired.
