Did the Roman army lose its discipline and thus endanger the Roman empire and cause it to be overrun?
The army did so during the period historians call the Crisis of the Third century. This was a 50-year period of military anarchy. Many emperors were military commanders who were proclaimed emperors by they own troops. They in turn were challenged by other commanders who were proclaimed emperors by their own troops. Many emperors were murdered, sometimes even by their own troops which had proclaimed them emperors because they did not want to fight a civil war. There were also various usurper emperors in parts of the empire. Two part of the empire split from the Roman Empire (the Gallic Empire and the Palmyrene Empire. Aurelian restored the unity of the empire and for this he was called Restitutor Orbis (Restorer of the World).
The Crisis did not actually cause the empire to be overrun. It encouraged the goths and the Heruli to invade the south of the Balkan Peninsula (particularly Greece and Bulgaria) three times and the Franks and Alemanni to plunder northern Gaul, across the River Rhine frontier. The Roman army managed to repulse these invasions or raids, even though at times it found itself overstretched. When the crisis was over the Roman Empire was still intact. It had only given up Dacia (par of Romania), which was north of the River Danube, because it was difficult to defend.

The loss of discipline to the Roman army(again western empire) occurred late in the fall of Rome. It was largely caused by the sheer influx of foreign/barbarian troops to fill the legions that Roman citizens would not do. So I'd say no.

Did the army lose its disclipine and thus endanger the empire and cause?
The Roman army lost its discipline after the invasions of the empire, not before. This made the Romans unable to respond to the invasions. Prior to the invasions, the problems of the Roman army was that it was overstretched (due to many attempted invasions at points on the frontiers of the empire which were distant from each other) and that it had an insufficient number of soldiers. Due to the latter, the Romans recruited Germanic mercenaries and relied on Germanic allies in some areas.
