A hard drive is just hardware that stores your data, such as pictures and programs, so if your computer is running slowly a new hard drive is unlikely to help.
The computer could be running slowly because you do not have sufficient RAM or or have a low CPU speed. It could also be because you have to many unnecessary services running on your computer.
Viruses and so on can cause your computer to run slowly, too, so you should run your antivirus and anti-malware programs regularly.
