The camera can only save images as jpg or dng??
Where are you seeing images saved as a png file?

Your image files are only ever saved by the camera as jpg or dng files.
It cannot save as anything else.
Whatever Editor does to them after they are taken is something else.

Is there a setting in editor so photos are saved as jpg ?

Please go to your settings and change there if desired... screenshots may help.

Is it possible the App is creating a .png as a preview for the RAW files?

No it isn't.

Well we know his Editor app is saving something as a png file.
Whether it's a jpg image or a dng preview is immaterial.

If the png was converted from a jpeg, it can be used to Edit and Save. It would be interesting to know the resolution of the png.
If it's a Preview the resolution would be low and not worth editing.
