Yes.

Based on what you've submitted here there's nothing illegal about it. There are exceptions, but you haven't provided enough information to know if they are applicable. Did you have a contract? Did they tell you why they withdrew the offer?

For sure more information is needed. Bring all your paperwork to your first consultation with an employment lawyer.
