There is no way to prevent the child from making calls other than to take the phone from him or her. Parental Controls in Screen time will not work for that. In an emergency situation you would still want the child to be able to make a call.

Ok oh can you not allow child to make phone calls during down time using family share. I have restricted all the apps but my child is still able to make phone calls

You might want to check to see what services your carrier offers for managing children's phones. Many have add-on services that allow you to have more control over things like calls.
