A: If your son has filed a lawsuit against you; the next step is that he must serve it on you. He has the option to have the Sheriff attempt service. Which is why the Sheriff has probably been to your home. To answer your other question...if it is just the initial stages of the lawsuit, then no, you can't be arrested. You can only be arrested for a crime or for violating a court order and if you are held in contempt.
