Are we entering a new Grand Solar Minimum?

Well of course not. The newer models of greenhouse effect shows that the climate is actually cooling because of it.

So the greenhouse will "hold the cold inside"?

That is not how greenhouse gases work. Like at all.

Greenhouse gases reflect EM radiation of longer wavelengths, such as infrared, which are the wavelengths that the earth gives off the most off (because the earth's temperature of about 290 Kelvin is pretty low), while the sun primarily radiates in much shorter wavelengths due to it's higher temperature of about 5500 Kelvin, and those shorter wavelenghts are much less affected by greenhouse gases. Hence why greenhouse gases lead to an overall increase in temperature. Without them, the average temperature on earth would be about -18 degrees celsius.
