No; it comes from the French. The word "damsel" (an old word that used to refer to a 'young lady') is not used in conversation any more. The expression means a lady in need of being rescued, and is a common plot in Fairy Tales and old-fashioned adventure stories.
An idiom is a phrase that makes no sense unless you know the definition. This is an ordinary phrase that means exactly what it says.
