No.

Butterflies and Moths lay eggs.

These eggs hatch out into caterpillars which eat plany material and grow. Once they are full size, the caterpillars make a cocoon/chrysalis then this cocoon/chrysalis hatches out into a new butterfly or moth.

To be more clear, butterfly caterpillars do not make a cocoon; they pupate (transform into a chrysalis) which then hatches into the butterfly

However, some moth caterpillers also spin a cocoon round themselves (made of silk) before pupating.

Before pupating the caterpiller will normally move off its food source to find somewhere safe and hidden to pupate.
