It needs light. That is why the leaves are turning yellow and dropping off. Also, plants go into a mild state of 'shock' when their growing conditions change. Keep watering it. Maybe a VERY weak solution of miracle grow, but you don't want to spur it to grow very much right now. Keep it alive until it can go back outside.
I go through this every winter with my plants.

Eilisha is correct. Put it in a sunny southern location. Lift the pot, light = dry, water. heavy = wet, let dry out. It could want coperas - substitue being rusty nails. Hibiscus love acid soil, add epsom salts. Agree with weak miracleGro.
