  The method that GoDaddy is referencing is for migrating a self-hosted WordPress site from another webhost. It will not work for WorDPress.com sites because there is no FTP access for WordPress.com sites.

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
