No, a DNA mutation does not always result in a change to the protein. Some mutations are silent and do not affect the protein's function.
It could change the type of protein that would be produced hence change the structure and function of that protein.

If a gene encoding a protein is altered at the DNA level, it can result in a change in the protein's amino acid sequence. This alteration can lead to changes in the protein's structure and function, potentially affecting its ability to interact with other molecules and carry out its normal physiological roles.

Nonsense mutation
a change in the sequence of amino acids. -P
The addition of an extra base in a DNA sequence would cause a frameshift mutation, shifting the reading frame of the genetic code. This would alter the codons specifying amino acids in the protein sequence, leading to a different protein being produced.
