No. This is a common misconception. Even though it looks unusual, the words Dos and Don'ts should not be written with an apostrophe before the s. In fact, the golden rule is to never use an apostrophe to create a plural. The use of apostrophes should be confined to denoting a missing letter, or a possessive.
It should be said, however, that English is an evolving language, and that means that consistently incorrect spelling, grammar or punctuation eventually becomes the norm, and this, in turn, leads to lack of clarity in other areas. (This does not mean it is correct.)
