Of the choices so far, "fearfully" seems by far the most natural to me in Britain. Indeed the word "frightenedly" does not exist, or is so rare that you should ignore its existence.

There isn't any. U need to get creative. The smart money is on total retrenchment to They looked frightened.

I'd say either 'fearfully' or 'in fright'.

Frightened.....is used as an adverb in that case. No need for the -ly ending.

'They look around in fright', or 'They look around, frightened'. What you wrote is not a word.
