No, a punt and a field goal are two different plays in football. A punt is when a player kicks the ball to the opposing team to change possession, while a field goal is when a player kicks the ball through the goalposts to score points.

What is field position?

In football, field position is where the football is located in relation to the goal line. In other words, field position is where the offense will line up for the next play. For example, there is "good" field position for the offense after running the ball back on a kickoff, if they get past the 30 yard line. Field position is also important on attempted field goals. If the ball is close to the goal line and in the center of the field, that is considered good field position.
