A colleague of mine did taxi after a highspeed abort:the result ,all fuse plugs melt.
The temperature will continue to raise in the sidewalls of the tyres,if you continue to move the plane.As I remember,Boeing recommends to allow the wheels assembly to cooldown,before moving the plane.
"When in fuse plug melt zone,clear RWY immediately.Unless required,do not set parking brake.Do not approach gear or ATTEMPT TO TAXI for one hour.' from 737 QRH.
So ,my guess,your colleague did fine.
