Yes they do.

And mating occurs when the female mud crab is in the soft-bodied condition following moulting. Female mud crabs in Australian populations migrate offshore to spawn and are rarely seen. 2 to 8 million eggs are produced in each spawning. Female crabs incubate the eggs for 2 to 4 weeks under their abdominal flap. For more information on the cycle of the Mudcrab

Yes, crabs do lay eggs. When female crabs are ready to hatch their eggs, they scurry to the ocean water and release their eggs.
