Did Watson and Crick invent DNA?

No. DNA wasn't "invented", it's a naturally occurring substance that's been around about as long as life on Earth has been around. They didn't even "discover" it; by the time they were working on it, it had been known for about 100 years. What they did (with a great deal of largely-unacknowleged-at-the-time help from Rosalind Franklin) was figure out the molecular structure.
