The air inside the balloon contracts - due to attractions between the molecules becoming stronger at low temperatures. this causes the balloon to be sucked in - it will not form a vacuum
When you move the balloon somewhere warmer - it expands back to the original size as the air molecules can no longer over some the forces that did hold them together
Hope this helps

How do you have it setup? Is the dry ice in a closed container? Is there a way to connect the balloon on the bottom of this container or the top? Where are you going to connect it ? Top or bottom or maybe one of the sides? Is it round or maybe a bulge in one place or the other?
What are you trying to do?
Normally dry ice cools down the air which makes a vacuum.

as the air around and in the balloon gets colder, the balloon would shrink. if you take it into a warmer environment, it would expand again, provided it had not been damaged by the cold and become brittle.

the air inside compreses because the temp changes .
