No So, Pauline! Sigma make a range of lenses that are compatible with your camera.
The Sigma 18-200 with stabilisation is cheaper than the equivalent Nikkor, and is almost as good. It might be just right for you. It is a bit dearer than the one in your link, I've seen them advertised for £330.
Charlotte is quite right in saying that the longer the lens, the more difficult it is to hold steady, so a lens with stabilisation will probably be a better buy, even if it is dearer.
It might be worth trying the lens in a shop before you buy if you anticipate this could be a problem, but you might not get such a good price.
