    Yes, it will. Weigela tend to get leggy if not regularly pruned and responds well to aggressive pruning. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/weigela/pruning-weigela.htm

    Yes, the winter probably damaged your bush. It could be that the late ice storm hit the back side of the bush, or that the front was protected in some way. But the cold was enough to kill the buds that were forming on that side. The answer is pruning. Determine it the branches are dead, or what part of them is dead, by bending them - if they snap apart and are all brown, they're dead. If they still have some green tissue, they're still alive. Prune off the dead branches, or parts of branches, and the bush should eventually make new growth. It can take 2 or 3 years for plants to recover from winter damage.

    The most common cause of black spots on leaves is a bacterial disease called black spot. This article will give you information on it: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/disease/black-spot-fungus.htm
    Also, you should probably get the weigela into the ground as soon as possible. The stress of being in a pot could be contributing to its vulnerability. Here's some info on growing these beauties: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/weigela/growing-weigela.htm
