No, you do not have to accept a pay cut. But neither does the new employer have to hire you. Employment is a contractual relationship. If you cannot agree on a wage you mutually find acceptable, there is no employment.

No, you can reject their employment offer and look for other work.

You can refuse the pay cut and get a new job or you can accept the offered pay and work for them.
