Question: Does a person eyes become misaligned if they have bad vision?
Answers:
Not at all. It's a refractive error not a misalignment of your eyes.
The normal eye is so designed that the entering rays of light are brought to a precise focus on the retina, where the optical image is produced. In some eyes the rays of light are brought to a focus too soon so that the image on the retina is blurred, producing myopia or nearsightedness. In others, the rays have not focused by the time they reach the retina. This is hyperopia or farsightedness. In still other eyes, the optical system is slightly distorted so that rays entering in the horizontal plane focus at a distance different from those entering in the vertical plane. This is astigmatism.

misalignment of eyes is a seperate issue to shortsightedness or farsightedness. While they often happen together usually misalignment doesn't occur in simple cases of myopia/hyperopia.
Someone with an eye misalignment problem would be experiencing double vision.
Usually an eye that is almost completely blind turns in for a child and out for an adult. I am not talking about refractive error like myopia. I am talking about pathology like a retinal detachment.
