Penguins have a high metabolic rate to support their active, cold-water lifestyle and to generate heat in the cold Antarctic environment. They rely on a diet high in fish and krill to fuel their energy needs. Their metabolism also helps them maintain a layer of insulating blubber to stay warm in the chilly waters.

How does staying very close to one another help penguins to keep warm?

The metabolism of penguins (like other birds, or like mammals such as us) generates a certain amount of heat. They are not cold blooded. Furthermore, the bodies of penguins act as barriers to wind. There is less air circulation, hence, the air is less chilling.
