I am guessing you meant [would'nt]? And no, I don't think so. Look at [isn't] which is short for [is not], or [can't]=[cannot] or [don't]=[do not]. I can't say 'why' it is done that way, just that I know it IS short for 'would not' and that most other similar contractions are shortened the same way.
