Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.

Gelid Shackles doesn’t stop static abilities or triggered abilities from working. It also won’t prevent the creature from attacking unless the enchanted creature is given defender before attackers are declared.
