When a team scores a touchdown on last play of a half and they holding penalty do they run a play?

It depends if the defending team either accepts or declines the penalty. If they accept it, then they move the ball back 15 yards from where the holding penalty was called, and run another play. If they decline, then they decided to ignore the holding. (they might do this if the offense didn't score. If they were to accept, that would give the offense another chance to score)

When can a team decline a penalty?

A team can decline a penalty when the infraction committed by the opposing team does not result in a better outcome than the current play. Typically, this occurs in situations where the offensive team gains a significant advantage, such as a big gain or a touchdown. In such cases, the team may choose to take the result of the play rather than the penalty yardage. However, the decision to decline a penalty is made by the team captain or coach, depending on the specific rules of the league.
