If your heat loss is 11kW and your heat pump is struggling to meet that (what is the actual heat output at 0C to -2C?), then the system may well strug...
The normal process is for the circulating pumps to continue running, as they need to circulate warm water from the radiators (or DHW) to the heat pump...
