The cd command is a built-in command of the shell -- there is no cd command in,
say, /bin.
Even if there were, sudo cd /some/where would not make sense: sudo runs the
command in a new shell with the enhanced permissions, and when that shell ends,
you are returned right back to where you were before.
So, either ask for a root shell:
sudo -s
or run a single command with sudo, and let your current directory be what it is
now:
sudo /var/ossec/bin/ossec-control restart
Hope this helps
