Water doesn't gain or lose mass when it freezes. Ice is less dense than water, this is why it floats. It may seem heavier, but there is no way that water can gain mass from just losing energy. Water does evaporate though even at very low temperatures, so if there is an apparent weight loss it is because of evaporation.
