Grammar explanation for '…ことができなくなります'
Is 'できなく' converted from 'できない'?
I've learned adj. '..い' can convert to '..く' in this case.
Does verb's 'ない' form also have such transformation?
grammar negation i-adjectives

Does verb's 'ない' form also have such transformation?
Yes. ない behaves just like an i-adjective. And the continuative form is なく just as you'd expect.
As you may already know, to say 'becomes adjective' you replace the い of an i-adjective with く and the な of a na-adjective with に, then add なる.
So できる (can do) -> できない (unable to do) -> できなくなる (become unable to do).

ない behaves just like an i-adjectiveFor the most part, but be careful with the ～そう conjugation for "seemingly not". See answers on this question for details. Confusion about “Seemingly not ～”.
