Should you run the furnace fan along with the central air to help circulate cool air threw out house?
With central air the furnace fan must be running to provide the air to the living space. If the furnace fan is not running then you get no air out of the ducts and the A-coil (the part of the ac system that is in your furnace duct) will freeze and shut down the compressor (the part that is outside).

Why is furnace blowing cold air?
If it's blowing intake-temperature air, either you've got the fan alone switched on or the heating part isn't working for some reason. If it's a gas furnace, the pilot light may have gone out, or the gas may be shut off somewhere (at the furnace itself, at the emergency shutoff for the house, or possibly at the main inlet). If it's blowing actually COLD air (colder than intake), then you've probably got central air and you've somehow managed to turn on the air conditioner.
