No, I'm referring to the fact that you aren't allowed to not work if you don't want to, you're not allowed to just do nothing and have the means to survive.

That's your intrinsic physical needs forcing you to do something, though, not the law. It's quite legal to do nothing, if you're okay with wasting away (though that kind of self-destructive avolition would probably warrant an intervention on the basis of mental health).

You're also not allowed to use your body to steal or murder.

Oh sure, there are plenty of things you aren't allowed to do with your body, generally based on the fundamental principle that you shouldn't hurt other people. There's a key philosophical difference, however, between being forbidden from doing something with your body and being forced to do something with your body (to the detriment of things you otherwise would be able to do). The latter is a violation of bodily autonomy, and is the central problem with anti-abortion laws.
