Yes, althought it is highly unlikely. The most likely scenario would involve a collision between the moon and a comet or asteroid of sufficient mass to dislodge the moon from its existing orbit. The resulting impact would yield such high energies that the moon would almost certainly shatter into a cloud of small fragments.

.

The amount of energy that is required to artificially remove the Moon from its orbit is beyond our current capability.

Will a large moon break apart if it gets closer to its planet than its original orbit?

Not necessarily. There is a distance, called the Roche limit, at which tidal forces on a moon will exceed the tensile strength of the material the moon is made of, at which point the moon will break into smaller pieces. The Roche limit has nothing to do with the size of the original orbit, other than the fact that the original orbit cannot be inside the Roche limit (or the moon would never have formed in the first place).
