No. The moon is however tidally locked, that is the same face is always turned toward Earth. The moon revolves on it's axis once per every revolution of the Earth; that is as it revolves around the Earth it also completes one revolution or one Lunar day. As it orbits the Earth, it's entire surface is exposed eventually to sunlight. So, no, there is no one side always in darkness.

What you may be thinking of is the term "Dark side of the moon." This is more than the title of a Pink Floyd album and song. It refers to the face of the moon always turned away from Earth, which was not seen by humans until 7 October 1959 when they were transmitted by the Soviet space probe Luna 3.
