No, it's not correct.
The verb mind can take an Equi Gerund Complement:
- Would you mind doing something?
but not an Equi Infinitive Complement:
- *Would you mind to do something?
whence the asterisk on the second sentence, indicating that it's ungrammatical.
Verbs vary a lot in which complements (if any) they can take; this is one part of the meaning of the verb. Like and care are both verbs that can take infinitive complements; mind isn't. That's all, really.
Any good ESL dictionary should indicate which types of complement a verb can take; dictionaries for native speakers, on the other hand, usually don't mention that. One more reason not to look in dictionaries for grammatical information.
