You can take potted herbs indoors to continue growing over the winter, but be prepared to give them enough light to survive. My south facing windows didn't give direct sunlight due to the overhang and most did poorly or died except my rosemary that turned into a bush. They will also possibly need a little more moisture due to less humidity in the house.
All my plants survived last winter. Maybe because most of them were in a room which has no direct source of heat. They faced east and I kept extra light on them and turned them. I have basil, parsley, rosemary, lavender, oregano and some other flowering plants.

Make sure they don't back up directly to a cold window and invest in an inexpensive greenery lamp. Otherwise, they usually don't live.
See if this helps. Also consider getting a grow light too.
