No, there were in fact quite a few herbivores that ran on two legs, like microceratops and leaellynasaura. There are no two-legged carnivores though because the first carnivore was Coelophysus, a two-legged carnivore and all the carnivores evolved from that point.

What observation did scientists make about dinosaurs not being lizards?
There have been a number of observations. First of all, although they are still considered reptilian, analysis of ancestor animals shows that dinosaurs were more closely related to crocodiles than to lizards. More importantly, however, dinosaurs have a number of characteristics not found in modern reptiles. While modern reptiles have their legs jutting out to the sides while dinosaurs walked with their legs vertically beneath them. Many dinosaurs, particularly the two-legged carnivores known as theropods, have skeletal features that are closer to those of birds than to those of reptiles. Finally, while evidence shows that some dinosaurs had scales, a growing number of dinosaurs are being found to have had feathers.
