They had to save their batteries and had to cut elect-city in the fear of another explosion.
Alan Shepard and his crew was supposed to fly Apollo 13, but he got an ear infection close to the launch, so the crew of Apollo 14 were moved up a place allowing Alan Shepard to fly Apollo 14. The reason the whole crew switched was because they trained with each other and were put together to compliment each others skills.
Well, The crew that was supposed to go on Apollo 13 was Alan Sheppard's crew, but he got an ongoing ear infection so he and his crew got bumped. Afterwards, Jim Lovell and his crew (Fred Haise, and Ken Mattingly) were assigned for the Apollo 13 mission, but because the doctors thought Ken Mattingly was going to have the measles, he got bumped from the mission and was replaced with Jack Swigert. Hope this helps! :)
No, they were not - the first moon landing left Cape Canaveral in Florida on 16th July, 1969 with the crew of Apollo 11 landing on the moon four days later. Between July 1969 and December 1972 there were (in total) six manned moon landings made by Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and finally Apollo 17. Apollo 13 was forced to return to Earth when an explosion in the rocket occurred when the crew were halfway to the moon but fortunately the crew survived and returned to Earth safely. There is even a movie about the Apollo 13 moon mission so that's evidence the moon landings were not faked.
Apollo 13 did not crash. It experienced an oxygen tank explosion that led to a critical failure of the spacecraft's systems, forcing the crew to abort the mission and return to Earth using the Lunar Module as a lifeboat. The crew successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 17, 1970.
Well, honey, thankfully no one died on Apollo 13. Those astronauts had a rough time up there, but they made it back to Earth in one piece. So, no need to start planning any funerals for them!

A Saturn V rocket blasted them from the earth, and the Apollo spacecraft took them the rest of the journey. This consisted of a command module, where the crew were located, and the service module.
Well, it kept its crew alive... job 1! But it did not land them on the Moon, so I wouldn't call the trip successful.

The Lunar Module (LM) on Apollo 13 was named "Aquarius." It was intended to land on the moon but was never able to do so due to an onboard explosion that forced the crew to abort the mission. The LM's systems were used to help safely return the crew to Earth.
The Apollo 13 mission was part of NASA's Apollo program, which was designed to land men on the Earth's moon. Apollo 13 failed, however, due to an explosion in one of their oxygen tanks. The crew survived and returned to Earth, but they never landed on the moon. They did take pictures of the moon, however, so it could be said, in response to your question, that they studied Earth's moon.
Apollo 3 was a test flight so it did not have any crew at all.
Ken Mattingly was removed from the prime crew of Apollo 13 due to concerns about his potential exposure to German measles. There was a chance that he could be a carrier and infect the other crew members, so he was replaced by Jack Swigert for the mission.
Alan Shepard was not allowed to command the Apollo 13 mission because he had been grounded from flight duties due to an inner ear disorder. This medical condition made him ineligible to fly in space, let alone command a mission. Jim Lovell was chosen as the commander of Apollo 13 instead.
