Hi matthew, I'm afraid not. If you want to make a virtual machine from the Bootcamp partition, you have to set up your Bootcamp partition first, including getting Windows up and running, then you can use Fusion to create a virtual machine to run that partition in MacOS. This is completely separate from any virtual machine you have now that was created from within MacOS. There's lots of very helpful stuff in the VMWare knowledge-base about this.
