I made the mistake of refrigerating my beer right after I bottled it. I read this causes the yeast to hibernate basically and reduces the carbonation. If I took these back out of the fridge would they go back to fermenting or am I screwed from here?

They should wake up and get to work.
 
Pull them out and rouse the yeast a bit if they have settled to the bottom. (not sure how long you had them chilled)
 
Yeast are good at finding sugar. Their life depends on it. Remove from fridge and leave 'em alone, they'll be just fine.
