An indirect free kick may be awarded in the penalty area. It is not promoted to a penalty kick.

If it is in the goal area, the kick location must be moved away from the goal line to the top of the goal area (6 yards out).

It is called handling.

If it was deliberate handling, and the player was not the goal keeper, then play would be stopped and restarted with a penalty kick for the opposing team.

If the penalty was successful, then no goal is awarded and the kick is retaken. If the penalty was not successful, then no goal is awarded and an indirect free kick is awarded to the defense. They will not get a 2nd shot at the goal because their own player infringed.
