The topic of freezing your accounts is quite complicated. It can be done by creditors or government agencies. Most of the time a court order is needed, but the federal government can freeze your accounts without one. This often occurs in criminal cases. Even when it is done without a court order, you can go to court and fight it. Since there are many details about this topic, I suggest you see the links below.

Can the lender freeze a bank account?

Bank accounts can only be "frozen" by a court order. A lender can request a court to take such action if it can be proven that the debt has plans to remove the funds from such accounts. Bank accounts can also be 'frozen' when they are jointly held so the non debtor account holder can provide documents to the court showing the portion of the funds in the account that belong to them and are exempt from a judgment creditor.
