Using the arm to [deliberately] touch the ball is called deliberate handling and is a direct free kick offense. If a player commits a direct free kick offense within their own penalty area, then the direct free kick becomes a penalty kick.
Note that goal keepers are immune to this particular offense within their own penalty area.
