Questions with the verb to be have an adjective or a verb with -ing, which is why we ask, Are you OK?
We use do or does with other verbs, which is why we ask, Do you speak English? 'Speak' is the main verb in this question.

In the above context, " r u OK" or " r u online " is a status (or possession) ..for ex, r u a child?/ r u tall ?..
On d other hand, DO we use with a verb( action)... For eg, Do you GO?/ do u EAT?/ do u RUN ?... here GO, EAT, RUN are verbs ( an act) ...so we use DO
