Water doesn't spontaneously freeze (thank goodness). It freezes because heat is being removed from it (by a fridge, for instance). As heat is gradually removed the molecules of water vibrate less and less as they lose energy. Eventually the random vibration almost stops and the molecules form into a fixed array like an army on parade. This lattice structure is so much stronger than individual water molecules flying about hither and thither and is called ice.
