No - When you're completing a rollover to a new plan, whether it be an IRA, 403B, 457, or 401K, it is considered to be a "Lump Sum Distribution" of the account. When you take a "Lump Sum Distribution" it automatically defaults the loan on your 401K. "Default" means that it is reported to the IRS as a taxable distribution - So you will be subject to tax and possible penalties on the portion of money not payed back as well as accrued interest.
Yes, if the Certificate of Deposit is inside an IRA account or another 401k account. If you are eligible to take a 401k distribution, you could take the money and buy a regular CD, but you would pay the same taxes and penalties that would apply if you didn't roll the money over. But you can roll a 401k over into another retirement account such as an IRA at a bank and buy a CD with the money in the new account without any taxes or penalties as long as you kept the CD in the IRA account.
