I wouldn't do that regardless, but is it a one-, two-, or three-piece crank?

Absolutely not. The frame was designed for a specific wheel size. The next size smaller is 24" -- the brakes won't line up correctly and it will handle weird.

Maybe ... but getting all the old parts to retrofit might be a challenge, as seat tube diameter, bottom bracket dimensions, headset, brake type, etc. all have to be the same as the old frame.

Take it to one and let them have a look before you do anything else. I suspect this is either a routine toe overlap issue or the frame and/or fork are damaged.
