trying to replace my drive but when I opened the laptop, I didn't find a hard drive,  does the HP hp 14-fq0048 have on board hard drive

Not a hard drive. It uses an M.2 SSD sometimes called a gumstick.

If your notebook is an 14-fq0048nr, it has a 64 GB eMMC flash storage drive.

It does have support to add a M.2 SATA SSD but not a NVMe SSD.

You can only use the M.2 SATA SSD for extra storage.

The notebook will not boot from the M.2 SATA SSD.

You need a drive like this if you want to add extra storage:

Amazon.com: Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s,...

Thanks for the quick response

[Catmirass]

o you have any suggest as to the casing that I would have to procure to ad a Sata drive also?

You're very welcome. 

There isn't any. 

Your only option would be to install a M 2 SATA SSD.
