Temperature must get below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.
When it gets that cold, the H2O particles have more resistance moving around until they move around less and less until water freezes. The particles are still moving... just very slowly. The particles also get larger in this process; thus the reason why ice expands.

The temprature in the environment around the water sample must drop below 0*c (Degrees Celsius). At this temprature, pure water will freeze and become a solid.
The temprature may have to drop even further, by an unspecifiable amount, depending on the amount of impurities in the water.

after the water is below 32 F it will start to freeze and become a solid ice

It's temperature must descend to 32 degrees F. (0 degrees celcius) at sea level.

just an educated guess but i think the water needs to lose its molecular kinetic energy in order for the repelling forces (that repel H2O from other H2O molecule) to weaken allowing them to bond creating a solid

It must be at the freezing point. (Below 0 degrees C)

It's freezing temperature will depend upon
1. Impurity
2. Pressure.
