Hello @Lalaram Raika
No, you can not.
You should configure instead a portchannel on your 9300 stack, bundling both uplinks into a single logical interface. This approach allows both links to be active simultaneously !

sopouse i configured in cisco switch and other end is fortigate device will that work

If you're looking HA or Firewall deployment, then try using HSRP between the switch for redundancy
Look at the Fortigate HA design guide.

will l3 etherchannel work

for HSRP you need Layer 2

Hello @Lalaram Raika
Good start this diagram.
Configure Portchannel on COREs and configure FW1/2 in a HA cluster. Active/Passive should be sufficient.
Since C9300 are stacked, they are considered like only one platform...so Gi 1/0/1 and Gi2/0/1 on a Portchannel towards LAN1 and LAN2 on Active FW and Gi 1/0/2 and Gi 2/0/2 on a Portchannel towards LAN1 and LAN2 towards Passive FW.
We can think about routing if you explain a little bit more your context.

fw's LAN1 AND LAN2 are in vlan in that vlan has ip 192.168.10.1 and sw1's gig1/0/1 is connected to fw's lan1 port which has ip 192.168.10.2 , now my question is will both port channel use a single ip

Gi 1/0/1 and Gi 2/0/1 on PortChannel-01 in trunk mode towards FW-01 Active
Gi 1/02 and Gi 2/0/2 on PortChannel-02 in trunk mode towards FW-02 Passive
On these ports allow the vlan id identified by the SVI.
On FW side, configure sub-interface based on the vlan id too.... and SVI !
