Hey guys! I have a quick question. I was interviewed for a role and scheduled for a second interview that was cancelled. The Sr Recruiter was really excited about interview me and personally called when the other recruiter sent the cancellation email. She emailed me today letting me know they are in a “holding pattern” for the role - what exactly does that mean?

Holding pattern means "put on hold"....
I would keep looking for other opportunities, and depending on if the "holding pattern" is your dream job, just contact the sr recruiter with a friendly follow up every 2-3 weeks, so s/he keeps you in mind.
