No. You will not lose your stocks. You'll still be owning your stocks but the value of the stocks would have fallen heavily during a market crash.

For ex: if you own 100 shares of X company that is worth $10 per share then your net worth is $1000. When the market crashes your stocks value might fall to $5. You will still own 100 shares but it will be worth only $500
