Some species of goldfish can survive in 0-degree water, but most goldfish won't survive in water below 10 degrees C. The fish would probably survive a while but would eventually stop moving and die.

It would probably die. But it depends on how cold the water is. Goldfish like warm water. So take it out of the cold water and put it in warm water.

The colder the water gets the more lethargic (slower) the fish become until they eventually just remain at rest with virtually no activity at all.
