In high school there are no special rules concerning a forward fumble, so yes, the fumbling team can recover it for a touchdown. However, if the officials determine that a ball was deliberately fumbled forward to try and gain yardage, they can rule it as an incomplete pass.
A touchdown in highschool football is worth 6 points.

The two-point conversion in high school football was first introduced in 1988. Before that, high school football only allowed for one point after a touchdown, which was typically attempted through a kick. The introduction of the two-point conversion added an additional option for teams to try to earn two points after scoring a touchdown, giving them an opportunity to score more points in a single play if they could successfully execute the conversion. This rule change mirrored the two-point conversion rule that had been in place in college and professional football for some time.
