No, reflection and black-body emission are different. The moon primarily produces the former.
Moonlight is not the result of the moon glowing incandescent.
The surface is very cold, its emissions as a black-body radiator are in the far infrared.
Moonlight is white light with a color temperature of several thousand Kelvin. This is reflected sunlight and has nothing to do with black-body radiators.
