No, once you reach the age of eighteen, there is nothing your parents can do if you want to move out. You are legal at the age of eighteen.

A parent can call you a run away and have the police bring you home. They can say you are a repeat run away and try to place you where you can not run away. Since you are almost 18 the police may not want to do this, and may ask your parents what they wish for you to do. You can not be arrested if you have not broken any laws.

If I run away will I be put into foster care?

Maybe. Running away is against the law, so the first thing to happen will be you will arrested and taken in by the police. Then, an investigation will start. Foster care is not an answer to your problems unless you are being abused at home. I suggest instead of running away you seek help from a friend or school counselor.
