If you don't change your antifreeze for years does can it create damage?
The corrosion protection package in the antifreeze does " wear out " so if you do not change the antifreeze / preferably distilled water mix the coolant mix will become acidic and not provide the corrosion protection that is required
What happens to a car engine in freezing temperatures when there's no antifreeze?
If you have water instead of antifreeze in your cooling system, it will freeze! You won't be able to start the car, because the engine is connected to the water pump (which won't be able to move). If you have nothing in your cooling system (no water, no antifreeze, nothing else), then you need your head checked. Your car won't start either.

Usually a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water for year round use to provide corrosion protection , freeze and boil over protection .
