No. The moon cannot become a black hole. A black hole is formed when a star1 collapses in on itself. But not all collapsed stars become black holes either, in fact, only a small percentage do. The majority of them become novas or supernovas. The moon is way too small and inactive (cold "dead" rock2) to expand or contract as a star does so, no it cannot become a black hole by itself (it can be absorbed into one if one ever comes close enough.)

1 composed of hydrogen, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, and and carbon (nothing more complex)

2 composed of light rock - mostly the ores of orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, and olivine, including ilmenite and ferrite (iron and titanium.)
