No, that generally means the turtle is frightened, but not real afraid or it would pull in its legs and head. It might just be the turtle is not used to you yet and is a little bit afraid. If the turtle is sick or very uncomfortable that may also make it a little afraid and curl it's tail.

First of all it's called Red-EARED slider. Secondly if you keep it home he shouldn't hibernate. Unless you really need it, then you have to keep the water always clean and provide the turtle with enough food. Red-Eared Slider should go into hibernation state when the temperature of air drops below 10 degrees. But still I advice you to keep him out of getting into hibernation.
