If it's the case that the bolts can no longer fasten tightly to secure the fence tightly, then you'll need to replace the bolts.

Yes it looks like the rust has seized them.
To loosen the nuts:
You could try applying WD40.
Get a spanner on the nut, and then apply shock, e.g. hit the spanner with a hammer (be careful! wear eye protection if you are hitting it hard)
or
Try heating the nut ... but don't set fire to your fence (use a heat blocking board behind it)
To find bolts, search for "fence bolts". Get galvanised ones to resist corrosion.
