Guys I've cut back my raspberry plants and put them into the pop up greenhouse I have , it's really frosty in worried they'll die? Is this the right thing to do ... Help. I don't want them to die they were amazing in late summer !!!!!!

Patsy is right Meghan. They are perfectly hardy and can stay outside in the ground all year around.
Oh okay, this is good news. Mine are in pots they were given to me in the pots?? Should I put them into the ground ??
As soon as you possibly can
rasps are totally hardy,
but be aware when planting they can send runners out under the ground, I've planted mine in very large pots in the ground as I want clumps of rasps not rows.
Now probably wouldn't be the best time to get into the ground though surely , it's snowing here (Henley, Oxfordshire) ????
No, not a good time right now. As soon as it is suitable weatherwise.
There are many raspberries that have the 'Malling' prefix to their names. These are tried and tested. You would just need to do a bit of research to find the Summer fruiting varieties.
Hope you got the solution. Rasps are hard enough to withstand frost. Patsy said right here. Good luck.
