The answer to your question is no.
From these sentences you can see that the Spanish verb "hacer" is often used in a translation.
What are you doing this evening? ¿Qué vas a hacer esta tarde?
Are you doing anything tomorrow? ¿Vas a hacer algo mañana?
We’ll do what we can to help you. Haremos lo que podamos para ayudarte.
I could do that for you. Puedo hacerlo en tu lugar. (para ti)
Do as you please. Haz lo que quieras.
What does she want to do when she leaves school? ¿Qué quiere hacer cuando acabe el colegio?
Scandinavian languages have an equivalent verb.
No .. "Do" doesn't exist in Spanish,,, Do is an auxilary verb which is only used in some languages. I won't say that it is only specific to English ,, but spanish sure doesn't have one When asking questions spanish some times employs the methodology of reversing the order the subject pronoun and the verb ... For example : Ud. Tiene un lapiz (You have a pencil ) ,, let us change it into a question : Tiene Ud. Un lapiz (do you have a pencil) .. but some people just try to employ the way of raising the intonation at the end of the sentence to make it sound like a question. The other use of do in English is to answer a yes or no question (yes I do, no I don't) for this use and all the other uses of do in English the Spanish only employs its verbal system (solo se usan los verbos).. Si, tengo.. No, No tengo.
Spanish also uses some auxilary verbs like haber but doesn't have any equivalant of DO per se.
Hacer = to do or to make // Yo hago = I do // Tú haces = you do // Ud. hace = you do // Ella/ él hace = He / she does // Nosotros hacemos = We do // Uds. / Ellos / ellas hacen = They do
Hope this helps with your question! Have a good one!
No. I am not a native spanish speaker of spanish but I understand that you can't translate word for word a lot of the time. For example: In english we would ask 'Do you speak spanish?' 'Does he speak spanish?' etc. The verb 'speak' does not change regardless of who we address this question to. In spanish, verbs are conjugated. The verb for speak, hablar is an -ar ending verb and has a set pattern of changes according to who the subject is, in this case to show who the question is aimed at. '¿Hablas español? (do you speak spanish?) and ¿'Habla español?' (Does he speak spanish?).Hope this helps. The SpanishDict Grammar section is really good to get an understanding of stuff like this.
Does the word 'do' exist in Spanish?
As a verb, Yes ... hacer = to do /or to make
ex's: ¿Qué hacemos? = What shall we do? ¿Qué te gustaría hacer? What would you like to do?
But, as a single word often used in questions in English, no!
The word no is not directly or literally translated into Spanish as such, but is implied in questions:
¿Tienes algún lápiz? = Do you have a pencil?
¿Tienen amigos esos chicos? = Do those boys have friends? Please note the reversed verb /subject order Tienen then subject los chicos etc...
You can also say: ¿Esos chicos tienen amigos? Do those boys have friends? Correct intonation must be used to show that you are asking a question!. This method of keeping the same word order as for making a statement (not reversing it) but using correct intonation is also used in French.
I hope this helps. 
I do - Hago To do - Hacer
