Well no because of the fact that the moon is stuck in the earths orbit and cant get out because it is to small to pull away from the earths orbit but really if you are talking about stop spinning then the answer is still no mostly because of the fact that because it is stuck in the earths orbit it has to stay in rotation just like the earth and also because one of our thoughts is the billions of years ago the earth (Young earth to be truthful) was hit by a small planet as big as the moon and the earth was still hardening so apart of it came of and the moon was made and the friction made by the hit made the moon and the earth start to rotate so does that answer your question? Well the moon move's away from

the earth about 3 to 5 inches each year but no the moon will not stop:)
