Why would we be instantly frozen solid? You'd think we'd have a bit longer than that. Like a few minutes or hours after there with no sunlight. But this is all assuming the sun just suddenly disappears. Which it wont. It would have to explode/implode and Earth would probably be wiped out in the process. If we did manage to survive the chaos then we would no longer be in a stable orbit and would be drifting through space without the protection of a solar system.
