'ordered not to move' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'decoration being picked up' is the wordplay.
'decoration' becomes 'frieze' (frieze is a kind of decoration).
'being picked up' shows a homophone (sound like) (pick up can mean to hear).
'frieze' is a homophone of 'FREEZE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
