Is it a "natural" pond, with dirt banks and a dirt floor, or is it one of those plastic tub-type ponds? If it's the latter, the frogs may not be able to hibernate in it, since they dig below the water's surface and along the banks, in the soft earth there to hibernate.
Are they "domestic" pet frogs, or are they wild? If they are kept indoors all year, you can hibernate them indoors for a short period by putting them in a cool (not cold) room with adequate dirt to burrow into.
Also, if they are outdoor frogs: have they always been sighted around that pond, or did you recently import them?

A bunch of Oscar cichlids, one giant pleco, huge breeding lot of "fancy" (read: deformed) goldfish, and me an' the boyfriend.
Its a man-made liner pond. I have added the frogs this summer, so no they havn't been there their whole lives. Its a good sized pond, but I'm not sure if they will live or not over the winter. Should I try bringing them inside?
Thank you
You can certainly take them inside! Remember that you will have to buy crickets to feed them, rather than them catching there own food.
