No. The opposite is true.

A skeletal muscle links two bones across it's connecting joint. The skeletal muscles do move your bones, by contracting or shortening. But these muscles are consciously moved. Involuntary muscles (heart, digestive, eye focus) are controlled by the brain stem without your conscious effort, although some activities (such as breathing or blinking) can be done consciously as well.

Involuntary muscles, such as smooth and cardiac muscles, do not move bones directly. Instead, they are responsible for controlling various functions within the body, such as the movement of food through the digestive system and the contraction of the heart. Voluntary muscles, specifically skeletal muscles, are the ones that attach to and move bones. Therefore, while involuntary muscles play crucial roles in bodily functions, they do not contribute to bone movement.
