Glad to hear about the garden - it's a whole new world to explore!
See
Harlequin Ladybird Survey - Origins - the webmaster of the website is a member here - Paul mabbott. The answers about their arrival are through the link.
Yes, just leave them where they are. Most will survive I suspect, then leave during the spring or even go for a wander during milder Autumn/Winter days.
Feel free to stick around and ask any questions you may have, or post photos of insects/whatever for ID
