Maybe: Sometimes the eruption of wisdom teeth can rearrange or move existing teeth depending on how much room there is in the jaw.

Yes: Yes, erupting wisdom teeth can apply pressure to surrounding teeth. Wisdom teeth can also prevent other teeth from erupting. For best advice, see a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon for evaluation/treatment.
