Not releasing the ball

[willt2004]

What is the restart when a player sits in the ball for exmaple it holds it in between their legs to stop the opponent getting it

Is it IDFK?

Well, your first question is why are you stopping play? The answer to that will tell you the restart.

So is there no offence committed?

Trying to feed you the answer . . . As described, yes, I would have an offense. Seems like you would, too. But you need to think through what it is. (And yes, it is a listed foul in Law 12–not a caution for USB.)
