No. According to USDA's 'Keeping Food Safe During an Emergency', a refrigerator will safely hold perishable foods up to 4 hours. The non-perishable foods might be all right depending what they are.

The fridge should be turned off right before it's being moved,

Water connection and Electricity connections will be cut off once your mover has decided its the

right time to move it into the moving truck.

On the day of your move, make sure to have a cooler ready with ice, so you can remove all refrigerator contents into that cooler when its time for it to be moved.
