Can I create a child theme from a premium theme without losing my posts and page etc that I already have?

Your content is stored in the database, not in the theme. If you switch themes or use a child theme, the content is still there.

Also, if you run a child theme, the parent theme is still in use: Any modifications from it that you don’t overwrite are still executed.
