No, this doesn't cause a power surge. A power surge is caused at the power supply. You will never have more power than what is being supplied, even when turning off your appliances.
A power surge is a spike in voltage that is higher than the recommended safe voltage range. If turning off power to large appliances causes your voltage to rise above this recommended safe range, then you have too much power going into your home and need to contact your power company.
