No! Breaking a string will not the hurt the guitar.

Your string can go out of tune for a number of reasons.

1. A new string could still be "seating".

2. It could be moving under the bridge because the pin that holds it in is not tight, or because the ball end was not pulled up tight against the pin.

3. It could be slipping on the post of the tuner if it was not thoroughly tightened when it was installed (also a part of seating).

4. It could be hanging up in the slot of the nut if the nut slot is too narrow for the size of the string.

5. It could be unwinding itself where it is twisted around the ball end under the bridge.

6. It could be getting longer or shorter based on temperature change.

Probably 1, 2 or 3. It will take care of itself after repeated adjustment.
