    This is usually a secondary infection caused by insect damage. Usually aphids, but could be many species of insect. Can you include photos, so that I may give you the best diagnosis and correction method?

    I can't make a determination from your description. Has the Holly had berries previously? Distorted leaves and berries could be from pests or disease, so inspect the plant carefully and treat as necessary.

    If you would like to upload an image, that would help us with your question.

    Browning leaves indicate fungal infection or winter kill in most cases. Closely look at whether the browning starts with spots that enlarge and spread or the leaf overall turning brown in a uniform manner. If it is from winter kill, the leaves will fall and new ones emerge. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/holly/leaf-scorching-in-holly.htm.

    If you find spots, you are facing disease.

    It does appear that the shrubs were weighted and began to grow in a horizontal manner.
    The roots are always growing on evergreens and the weight of the snow shifted their position in the soil.
    You can make some corrections with pruning, though I don't know if you can change the direction of the main branches with just pruning.
    You may need to do a mini transplant to position the plants back into the soil.

    Can you include a photo? If this is in a contained bed, then it could just need some fertilization. Are these newer leaves, or older leaves that are turning yellow?

    In the meantime, this article will give you a general idea of the care of most Holly shrubs: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/holly/growing-holly-bushes.htm

    Even if I continue to water it? I would think the new leaves would survive with the moisture. Do I have to wait till next spring tonbe sure?
