No. If the light comes on, and you obviously have traction, it is safe enough to drive yourself to place to get an inspection of the light. ... Note: some cars allow you to manually turn traction control off, in which case the "TCS Off" light will also illuminate. Only experienced drivers should do this at their own risk.

Turn your lights on! DRL's aren't your running lights. The daytime running light circuit runs at a lower power output and so the emitted light is even less than your regular low beams. As explained earlier, your DRL's don't turn on your tail lights which is incredibly dangerous at dusk and in darkness.
