No, illegal means that one is breaking the law.
Unconstitutional means that a law is not in compliance with the constitution. That does not mean that anyone will be charged with criminal activities. It usually means that a law is no longer valid and anyone charged under that law will not be prosecuted and any conviction will be overturned.
