Yes, prone means face down.

There is very little movement involved in a prone float, they do not want to see you paddling with your arms, kicking with your legs or otherwise treating water. Little movements to stay in position or to bring your head up to breathe are ok, but otherwise you are basically just letting your arms and legs dangle and letting the water support you. If you cross your legs at the ankles, it will help.
