It depends how cold we’re talking about, and what you mean by “warming up”.

If it’s so cold that the coolant in the engine freezes (or anti-freeze hasn’t been used), and it’s not been pre-warmed up, it could block up the coolant pipes causing an increase in pressure in certain areas of the cooling system, which could cause permanent damage.
