A unit test project isn't a website, so it doesn't know what to do with a web.config file. Try adding an app.config file to the unit test project, and copying the <connectionStrings> element from the web.config file.

It is done but i am actually calling a function in my website .cs file which is using the configuration settings in web.config file.

Your code isn't unit-testable then. You need to refactor it such that it doesn't need a connection string. This is normally done by using a repository pattern and interfaces where your code calls the proper class but you use a mocked version of the repository in your unit tests.

If you read some articles about unit testing you'll see these topics covered with examples.
