If Ruby had fallen unconscious right away she would have been killed by Cinder. If Cinder had been frozen like the dragon Qrow would have killed her when he retrieved Ruby. So I think something went on a top of the tower and Cinder was forced to retreat.

I'm under the assumption "frozen" is far too ambiguous a description of what happened...

Frozen... in what? Time, space, liquid, a biohazard?

many of these could be why Qrow could not act.
