Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

in a PRELIMINARY HEARING ,for FELONY CASES
At a preliminary hearing ,can the district attorney hold you over and charge you with a greater sentence carrying crime if none of his witnesses show up to court by the end of court on the specified day,in custody or not? Last year i was arrested for 11350a pc,241,666pc,and incarcerated without waiving my speedy trial rights ,on the day of my prelim hearing at 6pm the da still couldn't get any peace officer,witness to,or any partie involved in the case to the courthouse to testify ,and the da forced me to take a deal or he was going to hold me and charge me with armed robbery ..I have court this morning your thoughts would be appreciated
