Sprang is the past tense: Beads of sweat sprang from his skin. Sprung is the past participle: Beads of sweat have sprung from his skin.

According to the ever knowing Google.
No.

past tense and past participle: Often confused. For example, sprang is the past tense of the verb to spring, eg ‘she sprang into action’; sprung is the past participle, which goes with ‘has’ or ‘had’, eg ‘the wind has sprung up
Sprang is simple past tense and sprang is the past participle.
