Is there an app that can share my phones WiFi connection not data connection.

Not via wifi since the radio is in use for the current wifi connection. If it's a PC you're trying to share to you can plug your phone in and tell it to do USB tether.. That will work.

I'm confused. Why share your wifi connection? Just connect the other device (I'm assuming a laptop) to the same wifi network that your phone is connected to.

Depends on the situation. Such as when I reformat my gaming pc to freshen it up. It doesn't have a wireless card and the wired one will not work unless you have the driver. I don't have a CD rom drive since that would be the only time I use it so what I do instead is plug my phone in while it's connected to my home wifi, turn on USB tethering, and then my pc has a wifi connection I can use to go snag the latest and greatest drivers. After that I can go back to using the hardwired LAN cable.

This may not be the OPs case but.. Just wanted to show you a situation where it can be used .
