Will it lose flavor?

I have just about frozen anything you can think of and I would cut them up in pieces first put in a Ziploc bag and freeze. That way you can break off pieces and use them for flavoring in cooking. I have done that with herbs so it will work with green onions as well.

Green onions held at 32°F and 98 to 100 % relative humidity will remain fresh and flavorful for up to 4 weeks. Green onions are highly perishable and normally marketed over a short period. Lowering and removing the heat of respiration as well as preventing water loss is critical. Package-icing and perforated polyethylene film liners are used to maintain quality. Typically, storage life of green onions at 10°C (50°F) is 7 to 10 days. Higher temperatures greatly accelerate yellowing and decay of the leaves. Green onions benefit from light misting.

I presume you mean freezing them as they are and not as an ingredient in another dish, right? I wouldn't recommend using formerly-frozen scallions (green onions) in anything that doesn't otherwise require additional cooking. Once they're frozen, they will become mushy and, yes, they will lose their flavor a bit.
If it's the oniony flavor you're seeking from scallions, won't chives do? And if so, what about trying to dry out the scallions? I don't know if that's feasible; just a thought, is all.

They will probably lose crispness, but not flavor, I would think. Maybe mildly; of course not as good as fresh, but I'm sure you're not freezing them without a good reason.

Minced onions freeze but green onions just get wilted.

You're better off just tossing them out. Fresh ingredients ALWAYS taste better than frozen do.

No, When you defrost it it will look mushy.
