Here are some things to consider:
1) If it is a juniper then it is an outside tree.
2) Take a photo and post it. You'll get more and probably better advice
3) Check the soil. If there are rocks glued on, take them off. Is the soil free draining or is it spongy?
4) Unless it is an emergency, you'll probably be better off waiting until spring to repot your tree... in the meantime, you have opportunity to read up on bonsai techniques.
