There is usually a valve inside the house that shuts off the water to the outside hose bibb ( lawn service, sill cock, hydrant etc. - depends where you're from ). Find and shut this valve until spring. When the weather is reliably warm, open the inside valve and check to see if the frozen piping has split. If there is water running with the outside valve shut off, the ice has burst the pipe from the inside and a section of pipe and probably the outside valve will have to be replaced.

How do you get the outside tap to stop dripping after turning off water inside for the winter?
Outside Tap? outside faucet?/outside hosebibb?/outside spigot? well in most cases you are referring to the outside faucet that is dripping and I am guessing you have a ball valve or gate valve inside and when you shut of the ball/gate valve your outside faucet is still dripping and this means you have a leaky ball/gate valve which are known to leak slightly over the years and if your outside faucet is shutoff , then you need new seals in your outside faucet too. The easyest way to stop your leak is replace or repair your outside faucet if its a freezeless one. (just make sure your outside faucet has grade to drain the water out after you shut it off)
