No. Sobriety tests (i.e. one leg stand) are not mandatory and can be refused without the risk of being penalized. If you do refuse them there is no guarantee you won’t be arrested for DUI, but in such a case you haven’t given police/state’s attorneys any ammunition. On the other hand, if you have already failed sobriety tests there is probably still a strong possibility you can avoid being convicted. When police administer sobriety tests everything is caught on tape and they often misconduct tests which can lead to them being disregarded as evidence.
