Under FreeBSD and other unixlike OSes, cd means just what it does under Windows - "change directory."

The notable differences being that under unixlike OSes a space is required between cd and the name of the directory to change to and a forward slash / is used instead of a backward slash \

eg.

cd\stuff (windows) cd /stuff (unixlike)

cd.. (windows) cd .. (unixlike)
