I remember reading this information somewhere but can't remember where. Does anyone have this information ?

Well, we did get Ogres & Oubliettes, so It would not be surprising!

I know nothing about any of that stuff, but I remember seeing somewhere that Changelings were taken from one of these games. DND, I think?

Equestria's Changelings are not very similar to the D&D monster of the same name, but I can see how the show staff might have taken inspiration from them.

The Changelings of European folklore were fairy-children left in the place of a stolen human child.
