I want my function to restart instead of resuming using coroutine.resume(StartGame)?

So instead of coroutine.resume() starting the code from where it left off is their a function like coroutine.restart()?

A dead coroutine is a dead coroutine, you cannot restart it. You could create a new coroutine or alternatively put the running coroutine into suspended state with the coroutine.yield function, then repeat the necessary code once it is resumed again.

local c = coroutine.create(function(x)
	local n = 0
	while true do
		n = n + x
		print(n)
		x = coroutine.yield()
	end
end)

coroutine.resume(c, 1)
coroutine.resume(c, 2)
coroutine.resume(c, 3)

Before using coroutines however, please consider if you even need them. Most of the time you want the main thread yield until the game loop finishes and rather perform other actions in separate threads if absolutely necessary.
