No, but because small stars emit less light than large ones, they are only visible to the naked eye at comparatively "short" distances in interstellar terms while larger, brighter stars are visible at much greater distances.

How bigger is the moon compared with the stars?

It's not, the stars are bigger but the are farther away so they look smaller. Note, there are collapsed stars of degenerate matter known as neutron stars that would be substantially smaller than our moon (maybe a quarter mile across), but have a mass closer to that of our sun. These are a special case of star. White dwarf stars would also be fairly small, though not nearly as small as our moon. Closer to the size of earth.
