No. A tornado that moves onto water will keep going without being significantly affected. In such a case it is called a waterspout. Waterspouts can also develop on water and then move onto land as tornadoes.
There are numerous examples of tornadoes crossing water. Most notably, the three deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history all crossed the Mississippi River. See the links below for tornadoes moving across water.
