Godaddy Nameserver Necessary?

I just got off the phone with Godaddy, looking to configure DNS settings. Hopefully in an hour the site will be up again. But right before I got off the phone he told I needed to change my two NAMESERVERS. Any risk involved? Has anyone delved into this? Is this necessary?

Godaddy Nama Server

No. Just edit the DNS records, no need to touch the nameservers.

Thanks!
