They maybe stay at the bottom of there pond and go into there little homes and stay there till winter passes by.
probally fishes that could not seek shelter die in the cold

If your pond is deep enough, and doesn't completly freeze over they survive. They do go to the bottom of the pond and under anything they can. They go into a sub-hybernation (sorry spelled wrong). It slows their hear rate, breathing and metabolism down to a crawl. They no long need food. Once it warms up and they start swimming again, life is back to normal.

Hope this helps
