If I change my email setting from Pop to IMAP will I lose my current messages?

First, you cannot change an existing account setup; you must create a separate IMAP account. No, you will not lose any messages. However, all previously downloaded messages that were removed from the server need to be copied to Local Folders; otherwise, you will lose those messages when you close the account.
