Hey, I used an app crystaldiskinfo and it showed that my old hdd was dying. I was wondering can my dying hdd which has everything on it except my one game. Can it cause freezing on the game on ssd.

If the OS is on the HDD and the HDD is having a tough time dispensing data to the OS/system, then yes that's the root of your issue. Ideally you should have the OS, apps and games on the SSD and making sure it doesn't have more than one partition and you're only filling it by half, the rest 50% is empty to maintain good performance from your SSD.
