No, Shabbat is the Sabbath, a day of rest. A bar mitzvah is the religious ceremony where a boy becomes a man (young adult), by reading his specially selected parsha/portion from the Torah.

Not. Shabbat is a Jewish way of celebrating the Saturday as a holy day, while bar mitzvah is a boy's thirteenth birthday celebration.
