No. Every substance apart from helium (which can only be solidifed at absolute zero under pressure) can melt, provided it is made solid and then heated above its freezing/melting point.

Is it true or false that when solid melts it turns into gas?

both. It depends what substance it is. For example: solid water (ice) melts into liquid water (water) and then that melts into gas water (water vapour). Another example is that frozen carbon dioxide (c02)which is a solid also known as dry ice, melts into c02 gas hence the name dry ice because when it melts it goes straight into a gas state.
