If you don't attend school this semester you student visa will be cancelled after 90 days. You can't work unless you are studying full-time. Yes you can switch schools and attend a new program in September but you would need to apply for a new student visa.

No you can't work while take an short ESL course. You will also have to notify CIC that you are changing programs. The instructions are online.
