Not necessarily.

I want to thank you for helping me last night. A comma would wrong here.

"Thank you," said Sam. There is a comma here, but it is not because of the words "thank you." You would write: "I want ice cream," said Sam.

Thank you usually stands by itself or with an appellation. "Thank you, Sam!" In this case, the comma is there to set off the appellation, not because you used the words thank you. For example, you would write: "Go screw yourself, Sam!" or "Sam, thank you so much."

How would you see if a sentence had a comma splice?

If a sentence consists of two independent clauses with a comma between them, it is a comma splice. That is, the part before the comma can stand on its own as a sentence, and the part after the comma can also stand on its own as a sentence, then it is a comma splice. If there is no punctuation there instead of a comma, it is known as a run-on sentence.

What is sentence splice?

A sentence splice (alternately, comma splice) is when 2 independent clauses are joined by a comma. This is not grammatically correct. To fix a sentence splice, you can either change the comma to a semicolon, or you can add a coordinating conjunction after the comma (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
