To put it simply, I believe he meant, "RUN!" The "you fools" bit just showed Gandalf's frustration that the Fellowship was not getting away and into safety, or at least relative safety. How would you like to go to the trouble of sacrificing your life (Yes, he comes back, but he didn't know that, did he?) to defeat a Balrog while the people you were saving just stood there and stared like idiots while orcs caught up on them? So, to summarize: Gandalf shouted in annoyance, "RUN!"
