Your best bet is to read the man pages on these commands:

cd [ directory ]

If directory is not specified, the value of shell parameter $HOME is used as the new working directory.

pwd

pwd prints the path name of the working (current) directory. pwd is both an explicit command (invoked as /usr/bin/pwd), as well as a builtin command to each shell (invoked as pwd).
