I bottled a grapefruit IPA that I made. I used 4.5 oz of priming sugar. Bottled it the same way I have in the past without problems. I then stored the bottles for 3 weeks in my basement to bottle condition during the coldest part of the year during a serious cold spell. My basement was an unusual 57-60 degrees at the time. Now the beer taste like flat beer. It didn't fully carbonate.

I moved the beer upstairs in a warmer area in the house. Will the yeast wake up and be able to carbonate the beer after being dormant for this long.
 
Yes. Depending on the yeast, it would probably have eventually carbonated at the cooler temperatures, but it should carbonate now that you've raised the temperature.
