Not likely: Not terribly likely, but you are right a spondylolysis can sometimes progress to a spondylolisthesis in which one vertebrae slips forward on the other. I would not hesitate to be seen for an X-ray if you are concerned, particularly if you are having increased pain; but it is pretty uncommon for that to happen.
