Hello,
The temperatures in the fridge slows down their metabolism and therefor slows them down. If the fridge is too cool, yes, it can kill them. most refrigerators however are not that cool.
A bar fridge is normally set at cooler temperatures however. This is to keep the alcohol cooler.
When you took them out, did they thaw and then become active again? This is the normal routine for mealworms that are in the fridge. They must be allowed some time to thaw and become active. Then they need to be allowed some time to eat, and then they can be fed to the reptile.
