Water in the brake fluid froze....brake fluid absorbs water over time. Hygroscopic. Get a complete brake fluid flush and use Porsche approved fluid. Get the front trunk warmed up by letting the engine warm up to the point where the radiators are hot and perhaps the current fluid will melt enough for you to get to a mechanic. Maybe see what happens in the afternoon when the sun has warmed the car up. Drive safely.
