No they get to keep the ball, you see, every time a team gets the ball they have to score, no matter what. The NFL changed the 4 down policy because they didnt think it was very nice to take the ball away from a team if they went for it on 4th down. If the team just cant score for some reason, the refs will talk it over and usually just give them a touchdown because they feel sorry for them. Downs are meant for nothing more than confusing women. and it looks like it worked

The ball is turned over on downs to the other team at the spot where the player was tackled.

Seeing no penalties, it is considered a turnover and the other team will get the ball which is why most teams would punt on 4th down.

They lose the ball at that exact spot and the opposing team takes control of the ball and the position on the field. There would be no punt in this case.

In simplistic form, they give the ball up....
But....
If there's a penalty against the defense, and the penalty was sufficient enough to give the offense the 1st down, then they would keep the ball.
