No. It will actually be beneficial to the calf because it doesn't contain all the nasty bacteria like Escheria coli, Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (the bacteria that causes Johnes disease), Salmonella spp., or Mycoplasma spp. that are prone to making calves sick. Studies done (according to the first related link below) also state that calves on pasteurized milk actually have better weight gains and health than those on traditional milk-replacers or raw milk.
However, in order to actually be beneficial to a calf, it can't be the same kind of milk that comes out of your fridge, but the type that contains the right level of protein and energy content in order for a calf to grow well on it. It also cannot contain any sort of contamination that will be detrimental to a calf's health.

How long does it take for a cows milk sac to dry up?
A few weeks. Often the calf will die of starvation before then, if you either don't milk the cow out and tube the calf with her milk, try to make the calf suckle as much as you can, or if you don't bottle-feed the calf. So make sure you are caring for the calf if the calf can't suckle from his momma.
What can cause a new calf to die?
All sorts of things, from some sort of genetic disorder to a virus or bacteria that the calf picked up in the womb from the cow, or from environmental conditions (from the extremely cold and wet [cold stress] to the extremely hot [heat stress]) that the calf was exposed to when born. Injury from the cow stepping on it or laying on it could also cause some serious damage to the calf. If the cow rejects her calf and he doesn't get colostrum, he could die. Malnutrition of the cow where she doesn't have enough milk or is deficient in a mineral enough that the calf dies when it's born will cause it as well. A prime example of this is selenium deficiency which causes White Muscle Disease.

Why cow is not giving milk?
The most obvious answer is that the calf will die if you don't do something about it immediately. The most immediate answer is that the calf will go hungry and eventually lose its ability to retain the antibodies and immunoglobins if not fed colostrum right away. This will eventually and potentially may be the final nail in the calf's coffin.
What happens if a calf does not feed after birth and the dam teats are very swollen?
First, the calf may die if it doesn't get colostrum within an hour or two after birth. Secondly, the mother will simply dry up (stop milk production) if her calf doesn't survive or you don't get the calf to start suckling from his momma.

What do you need to own a calf that does not need its mother?
Who told you that a calf doesn't need it's mother? Every calf needs a cow to properly take care of it, no matter if it's their own or a surrogate cow-mom. Ideally you should have a cow already there to adopt that calf. But, if that's not obtainable, you need shelter, milk replacer, feed, water, and a good understanding of how to raise a bum/orphan calf so that it doesn't get sick and die on you.
