It is not old enough. It is estimated that it would take trillions of years for a white dwarf to a black dwarf. The universe is only about 13.8 billion years old.

Is a dead star the some as a black dwarf?

No, a dead star is different from a black dwarf. A black dwarf is a type of stellar remnant, but not all stars become black dwarfs. When a star dies it will leave behind a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black dwarf as a remnant depending on its mass. Given enough time a white dwarf will eventually cool to a black dwarf. The universe is not old enough for this cooling to have happened yet.
