No it is a small star (about the size of Earth) that is VERY dense and quite hot (although it is not producing new energy).
It takes several hundred trillion years of a white dwarf to cool.
A white dwarf is the remains of an old star, but they still remain very hot and will continue to shine as a white dwarf for many millions of years until they gradually cool off to become black dwarfs. They are very dense.
If it is small and cool enough it could be a "brown dwarf". If it is a little warmer it is called a "Red Dwarf".
No, the sun will eventually evolve into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and becoming a white dwarf. The white dwarf stage marks the end of its evolution, where it will slowly cool down over billions of years.
It is estimated to take at least several hundred trillion years.

No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
It takes several hundred trillion years of a white dwarf to cool.
Black hole- an object so dense that even light cannot escape its gravity Red Giant - a large star that is relatively cool White Dwarf - an old, very dense hot star that is cooling Nebula - A mass if gas and dust

A white dwarf is the last stage of 97% of star evolution. A white dwarf will eventually cool down, and become a "black dwarf". Black dwarves are not expected to exist yet; to cool down to that level, it would take longer than the current age of the Universe.
white dwarf
Far more than that. It is estimated to take hundreds of trillions of years for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf.
A small star that only gives off faint light and is relatively cool is likely a red dwarf star. These stars are much smaller and cooler than our Sun, but they are the most common type of star in the universe. Despite their dim appearance, red dwarfs can be very long-lived.
