I think your question is regarding a day that the company is not open. No, they cannot force you to take a sick day, a vacation day or a personal day...but they also don't have to pay you for the day (unless you are a salaried employee.) They can just schedule you to be off without pay on that day. So, they are probably suggesting that you take a sick day if you'd like to be paid for the time.

Yes, an employer can force an employee to take sick pay or vacation time when a company is closed due to disaster. States that have an "at will" employment rule allow employers to do this.

Can a employer make their employees work 7 days a week as a punishment?

An employer is never in a position to 'punish' an employee, and is in big legal trouble if he does it and the employee can prove it in court. No law restricts an employer's right to discipline employees with schedule changes. Employers face no court imposed liability for doing so. An employer can't 'make' his employees do anything. The employer can state the work assignment, and then each employee is free to choose among three options in response: 1). Comply, 2). Negotiate, 3). Walk.
