Without a sniff through the OBDII connector you are just guessing. Could be nothing more than a brief power dip in the chassis computer that threw up the flags.
It could also be a bad or open circuit from the speed sensor in the transmission, or tires that are more than .125" difference in diameter, a wheel speed sensor, or a weak battery caused by a failing battery, alternator not fully charging, or something in the car is draining the battery when parked.
Good time to dive into the trunk and be certain the battery is clean and tidy before winter.
You really need a cable look at the computer.

If the lights don't come on again, probably an anomaly as others have described. If they do, best bet, if you don't have access to Vag-com, is to have your dealer run a scan and to diagnose and correct the issue.
Still under warranty, yes?

Most likely, it isn't anything. They will probably clear the errors, see if they return, and take it from there. If they do not return, everything is fine.
