I used the import editor to import some models, but they don't show up in WE or in WC3.

the model file is called frozencorpse.mdx and I put it in

Units\Creeps\frozencorpse\frozencorpse.mdx

But the game isn't detecting it.

You don't relly need to set paths for models, just assign them to a unit or whatever in the unit editor. The skin path does need to be right however. It's the model field in the unit/etc editor.

All the models here come without a skin, most if not all of them use a skin already made. How do I use a skin already made on these models?

Btw what skin does the ice-spider use? I can't really tell... looks like a doodad...

For the spider, try


Units\Creeps\Spider\Spider.mdx or whatever

Just put that and then put one of all the spider types out to see which one it changes.

Just change the path to the .mdx path that it was based off of.

Sometimes the import manager doesn't work if you do things in the wrong order. I suggest this:
Delete the old imported file
Save
Import the file, and change the extension to something NEVER used
Save
Assign it to a unit

This should work, not always, but usually. The way blizzard made their map files, importing other files can mess things up and warcraft ignores them.
