As a liquid is cooled its molecules lose kinetic energy and their motion slows. When they've slowed to where intermolecular attractive forces exceed the collisional forces from random motion, then a phase transition from liquid to solid state takes place and the material freezes.

Hey
During freezing the particles lose heat, as a result the kinetic energy of particles decreases. They come closer together and the electrostatic forces between particles increases and their motion decreases.
