But it gives erroe as " Invalid type: MetadataService.MetadataPort "

public class CustomField1 {
    String sessionID = UserInfo.getSessionId();
    public static void createField()
    {
        MetadataService.MetadataPort service = createService();     
        MetadataService.CustomField customField = new            MetadataService.CustomField();
        customField.fullName = 'Account.TestField__c';
        customField.label = 'Test Field';
        customField.type_x = 'Text';
        customField.length = 42;
        List<MetadataService.SaveResult> results =    service.createMetadata(
                new MetadataService.Metadata[] { customField });

This looks like you are trying to use the financial force metadata api via apex. Have you imported all of the classes from that library?

In case you've copied code from elsewhere without realising it's a library, you can find it at:
