Won't stop anything. You're good to go.

Might be another stupid question, but racking the beer on top of the frozen watermelon, won't this totally stop any fermentation? I've had it in a primary for a week so far

Wait for primary fermentation to stop. Then rack in secondary. Fermentation will not stop when you secondary, in fact, a secondary fermentation may begin due to the residual yeast being sucked up into the fermenter and the sugars from the fruit being fermented. But it won't be that much fermentation. At least not with blackberries. I may get an additional 2 points of fermentation (hydrometer at end of primary 1.014, at end of secondary, 1.012) but it won't be substantial and your beer would be fine.
