No. Chain skip means one or more worn out drivetrain components -- chain,
cassette, or chain ring(s).

some side to side movement.
In what? If you mean the crank arms, then yeah, your BB bearings are shot.
(You do mean side-to-side, and not front-to-back, right?)

BBs are fairly cheap. Chains are really cheap. Goes up from there.
