Good luck with that.

As per the WI state Constitution it cannot be an arrest; Article IV, §15 — Exemption from arrest and civil process:
Members of the legislature shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest; nor shall they be subject to any civil process, during the session of the legislature, nor for fifteen days next before the commencement and after the termination of each session.
Arguably they could be considered in “breach of peace” because of the protesters; however, that is dubious as the missing legislators were not among the protesters. A better route, IMO, would be to declare the seats vacated and act on the previous section; Article IV, §14 — Filling vacancies:
The governor shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies as may occur in either house of the legislature.
