No, this won't lag / crash. It will take a short time (maybe 60 milliseconds?) when you create them.
But objects that you can't see pretty much cost nothing to just lie around.
Changing objects takes time. Creating objects takes a bit more time. Destroying objects takes time, too. Reading from objects takes a little time.
By "a little time" I mean a millisecond or so. By "a bit more" I mean a few milliseconds.
That means it's okay as long as you don't do it constantly.
This is only true if the number of things made stops at a reasonable count (say, before 500).
That said, there's probably not a good reason to keep that many objects (you shouldn't have names for all of them, for sure).
Consider using simple tables to keep track of data instead.

Lag.
Is there another way to put IntValues into a character that won't cause lag?
You can prevent this by not putting IntValues into the character.
You could save the intvalues in the script.
