No.
To the contrary, at absolute zero you don't have the disorder of thermal agitation, yo have low entropy. A perfectly isolated physical system has maximum entropy when all energy is of purely thermal nature and all at the same temperature. From that point you couldn't use a thermal engine to change any of the energy into mechanical or other organized forms, you certainly couldn't lower the temperature at all, let alone to absolute zero.
