Will Saturn's rings eventually form a moon/moons?

Since the matter is spread out around the body, in a similar way to the matter around the sun in the early stages of the Solar system, will this matter too go on to form bodies that will orbit Saturn?

No, because they are too close to Saturn.

They are so close to Saturn that the tidal force from Saturn is larger than the attraction between two rocks of the ring. That's what we call the Roche limit.
And actually it could be an explanation of their formation: a moon came too close to Saturn and was ripped apart by the tidal force, spreading its matter which then organized into rings.
