It's working again. I re-installed LyX, but that didn't fix the problem. I didn't want to re-install MikTeX for obvious reasons (it is working fine in TeXStudio and it's slow to install).
Googling, I saw someone recommended using biber instead of bibtex in Preferernces > Output > LaTeX > Bibliography Generation > Processor when LyX gives "?" in its citations. So I tried that, but it didn't work either. However, I was at least getting warnings in the LaTeX log that my references were undefined. Frustrated, I again tried "Reconfigure" and... surprisingly it started working. I believe reconfigure re-set the default bibliography generator to bibtex, as that is what it is now, and it's working. Hope this is helpful to someone.
