It sounds like your shrub may have had some cold damage or even lost leaves due to the soil drying out.
Prune the plant in spring and remove the damaged parts of the plant.
If the plant did soil did dry and the roots suffered; you will need to wait and see what can recover.
Water, but do not over water. This plant is also susceptible to root rot if left in soggy soil.
Good luck.
