In Chess, if your king can’t move, do you lose?

If your king is cornered as in it can not move, but it is not in check (next turn the opposing player can not take out your king unless you move it) then do you lose even though you don’t have to move your king.
(There is other pieces on the board)
Ex.
A knight can land in front of your king, a castle can land to the left side, and another castle can land to the right side so in theory your king can not move, but it is not in danger in any way.
Just a little quarrel I had with a friend while playing chess the other day.

Until the king is in checkmate, you haven’t lost.

1) If on the last move your opponent puts your king in check and you can not move your king to safety, block the piece attacking your king, or take the piece that has your king in check your in checkmate. YOu Lose
2) If you have no other pieces on the board or none of your other pieces can move (You have pawns basically) and you can not not move your king without moving in to check then it is a stalemate or a draw. In essence you tie. Now even if you can not move your king if you can move another one of your pieces (Your not in check) it is not a stalemate

If you are not in check and have no legal move it is a stalemate and the game is drawn.
This legal move can be of any piece not just the king.
