If we evaporate Sulphur in a closed chamber along with the MoO3 films, will it convert MoO3 to MoS2?
yes, you can do that please follow the article listed below

Dear Karthik, thank you for asking this very interesting technical question. Yes, the conversion of MO3 thin films into MoS2 films by sulfurization with elemental sulfur is indeed possible. This process has for example been reported in the article entitled "Direct Transformation of Crystalline MoO3 into Few-Layers MoS2" (Materials 2020, 13, 2293) which can be freely downloaded as pdf file from the general internet. It was pointed out that this process could be carried out at moderate temperatures using simple instrumentation. Elemental sulfur powder was used as sulfurization agent. Please note that the back reaction, i.e. the conversion of MoS2 thin films into MoO3 layers is also possible.
Good luck with your research!
