Lactose is a sugar like glucose or fructose and so cannot be denatured as can enzymes, which are proteins. However, if you heat lactose long enough it will caramelize (oxidize), like the sugar in sweetened condensed milk does when super heated.

Heating lactose-free milk does denature the enzyme it contains to digest lactose, lactase, and inhibit it from working further.

Can milk be non-lactose?

Milk naturally contains the sugar lactose. Lactose-free milk is made by 'pre-digesting' the lactose in the milk. This is done by adding the enzyme lactase to the milk. The enzyme breaks down the lactose and people who can't digest lactose properly (lactose intolerance) can drink the milk without side-effects.
