Would your advisor assist you to go self employed, thus ending your claim for ESA?

It's out of our advice area, but I believe they would be able to offer some assistance, and there may be grants available that you could make use of.

If this is a direction you are seriously lookin at, then you might want to consider Pemitted Work as a first step. See

Permitted Work

Can you appeal a sanction?

I notice if you are sanctioned you can claim a hardship payment if you are on IR benefits. I believe it is the basic rate less £10.

Yes, you can appeal against a sanction, it follows the standard process, a Reconsideration followed by a hearing by the Tribunal Service, if required.
