Keep it where it is and dont water. Citrus can cope with quite low temperatures as long as their roots are dryish. It's cold combined with wet that kills them off. Fingers crossed

Yes Dove is correct, can loose their leaves from stress if it goes below 10d. I always keep a can of rain water indoors in winter.Oh, Dove, do you get tomatos regardless of what you plant then HaHa!!
I have 2 lemon trees on my patio next to the kitchen wall. After they got too big to move to the greenhouse, I tried fleece and bubble wrap round the pot. One winter they both lost all their leaves, when a snow & wind blew the covers off. They both recovered and continue to thrive. You have had lots of good advice above which I won't repeat, the only thing I can add is I used seaweed tonic to stimulate bud break in the spring. I now "build" a frame of twinwall polycarbonate round them each winter. It's not very elegant but it works, I remove it in May.
I used corner brackets to join the main pieces together and used small screws so it can be taken apart & stored for the summer. It is a bit of a fiddle but worth it as the year they lost their leaves it took most of the summer to recover. The seaweed tonic was used as a foliar spray.

I had a tree in a large terracotta pot in Spain for years,and my lemons fell off as soon as they set!
