Since you have the domain name and WordPress hosting purchased with GoDaddy, this guide should help you through moving your WordPress.com site to a self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) site with GoDaddy. https://move.wordpress.com/
You can feel free to skip the first 3 steps, if you have finished configuration your new self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) site on GoDaddy.
Feel free to get back if you have questions.

Hi, mridul10
When following the instructions at https://move.wordpress.com/
Take note of these key steps:
Step 1: Export your content (and consider breaking it if the resulting file is too large). https://move.wordpress.com/exportimport-content
Step 2: Install the WordPress importer plugin found here https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/ on your new site and use it to upload your export file.
Step 3: Redirect Users to Your New Domain engaging the Site Redirect upgrade feature https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/
Step 4: Redirect your permalinks (including links indexed by Google), choosing Day and name in Settings (Permalinks in the WP Admin area of your new site)
Step 5: Make sure none of your images is broken using the Import External Images plugin on your new site.
Step 6: Install the Jetpack plugin following this guide https://jetpack.com/support/installing-jetpack/ and migrate your stats and subscribers to your new site using the subscription migration tool https://jetpack.com/support/subscription-migration-tool/
Do let us know how far you’ve gone.
Cheers!
