According to this, you shouldn't prune it in the fall/winter, but you can prune it in the spring/summer. Here's some more info on pruning your hibiscus tree: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hibiscus/tips-for-pruning-hibiscus-plants-when-to-prune-hibiscus.htm

Hi there,
It might simply be because the plant is experiencing changes from being brought inside. If the branches are completely dead, they need to be cut off. If they are still alive at the base where the branch meets the tree, prune them back. Here's a tutorial about how to care for an indoor hibiscus. I hope this helps you. Wishing you the best.

cut them out and if green below the cut it will branch from there,flowers bloom on the ends so the more cuts you make the more will fill in.
cut the live branches below where you want to fill in for next year
