Not necessarily.
In small companies you'll need to code whereas in big companies you'd just manage staff.

Assuming your company is not a startup using fancy C-titles early, it's not a requirement for a CTO to be a coder but it helps to understand the complexity of problems and gain trust and respect from direct reports if your CTO used to be a coder.
