Quick answer
It should be fine. Return it to where you found it or a similar
habitat.
Further
information
Amphibians lie dormant during the coldest months but take
advantage of milder patches of weather to come out and forage.
For this reason if you do disturb an animal in winter, it should
be unharmed if covered up and left undisturbed.
If you are unable to put the animal back where you found it,
place it somewhere that offers protection from frost and
predators like cats and birds, for example log piles, under a
shed or within your compost heap; it should not be somewhere
'warm', just a place that keeps free of frost.
Making your garden amphibian-friendly.
