"Yo haber un frío" is completely wrong. First, because you don't use infinitives like that (you have to conjugate them). Also, "haber" cannot be used as "I have [something]"; for that you use "tener". Finally, "a cold" is not "un frío" when it means ilness.
Estoy resfriado : used when people have an inflammation and secretions of the mucous membrane, normally causing people to sneeze.
Estoy constipado: False friend!
Tengo un catarro: Similar inflammation and secretions, but generally affecting also the throat or other parts of the body. It often goes along with coughs.
Estoy constipado: False friend! It is a blockage of the nose, not the bottom. It is either a resfriado or catarro, but with a blocked nose.
Tengo gripe: Viral disease with fever, general pain, and other symptoms, such as those of "catarro". This is the only properly medical term so far.
By the way, are there exact equivalents for these three in English? I know you have catarrh (a typical Greek word), but it doubt it will be used in a normal conversation or when talking to children, like Spanish.

Estoy resfriado. That is how you say "I have a cold." Estoy engripado is "I have the flu."

Reread what Nathaniel wrote. He has already answered your question, and did not tell you how to say "I am cold."

Estoy resfriado means that "I have a cold", that you are sick. Estoy enfermo means "I am sick".

Tengo catarro. I have a cold.

Estoy constipado: False friend! It is a blockage of the nose, not the bottom.
And in case anyone is wondering, it is "estoy estreñido."

We are saying the same, more or less, but:
Estoy constipado = I have a blocked nose
Estoy constreñido = I am constipated
"Constipado" It is a typical false friend. James just wrote the right way of saying "constipated" in Spanish.
