yeah just let it warm up before you try and start it or do anything with it again it should be ok, thro a tarp over it at least tho

Personally I think your bed sheet will be just fine. Would a tarp be better, ah maybe just because it is thicker but it is not like the tarp is insulated to keep the bike warm and your bike is at least inside where the weather and elements can't get to it. Frost on the crank is fine. Its not going to hurt anything. Think about the amount of frost builds up on your car motor and it is fine. Nothing to worry about here
