If a kickoff goes through the goal post without being touched by a player, it is considered a touchback. In American football, a touchback occurs when the ball is kicked into the end zone and the receiving team chooses not to advance it out. The receiving team then starts their offensive drive at their own 25-yard line.

What If a field goal is kicked through then gets pushed out by wind?

nothing, a player will normally be there to catch it and play on. It's not a score because field goals must be attempted on a scrimmage down, not on a free kick like a kickoff. The only exception is the fair-catch kick, which allows you to attempt a field goal immediately after a fair catch. Therefore, if a kickoff goes through the uprights (and subsequently lands out of play), it is simply a touchback for the receiving team.
