Mostly it's not. Seller's proportionate share of capital sold gets transferred to buyer's capital account. Seller's ownership % on K-1 get changed.

Would the change be included in Schedule L and a contribution and distribution in M-2?

Increase and decrease on M-2, not contribution and distribution.
