I did some Internet searches with respect to frilled dragons and hibernation.
It appears that frilled dragons can hibernate.
If you are concerned, to be on the safe side, try for a temporary in-expensive space heater to raise the temperature above 60 degrees this should assist digestion and encourage eating.
A metropolitan herpetology article referred to burmation for breeding purposes.
It came with the warning that: "....if during the time they are hibernating you start to see one of the animals losing an extreme amount of weight , separate that animal and provide some food and water. It may not finish it's brumation, but it's better to have a healthy animal to breed next season then to loose it from dehydration or malnutrition)"
