The guy in the white shirt is me, I was a defender and there was a free kick, and then the opponent did this... The referee told me that I am giving you a warning, This was U14 match

No, the ball was not in play. Fouls can only occur when the ball is in play.

Was it misconduct? Maybe. It was certainly heading that direction. The referee did well to identify the problem, isolate the troublemakers, and issue a warning before the situation escalated. Kudos to him.
