Quite likely. Does it not show battery charge before shutting down ? Try a different charger, or battery. Try the charger on a different laptop. Try to isolate where the issue lies.
If you don’t have a spare battery or charger and you’re sure the charging light on the laptop is illuminated remove the battery plug in the charger if it starts it’s probably the battery if it doesn’t it could be the charger. There is always the chance that there is a problem with the laptop

You haven’t made it clear where you are touching the charger
If you are touching the mains cable that supplies the power then the lead is faulty
If you are touching the body of the charger then there is a fault with the charger
If you are touching the plug that fits into the laptop then you have a faulty connection in either the charger plug or the laptop socket
