I am playing a druid and am wondering whether my character has seen dinosaurs. My character has lived most of his life on the Sword Coast.
Does the Sword Coast have dinosaurs, or are they from a foreign land? I am specifically interested Quetzalcoatlus by the way.

Are you looking for lore/info from 5e specifically, or is material from previous editions fine as well?

The Sword Coast probably doesn't have dinosaurs.
Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide doesn't mention dinosaurs at all. That's not decisive, as it's not an exhaustive setting book, but it is the closest thing to a "pure" setting book in the Realms we've so far seen in 5e.
Xanathar's Guide to Everything gives us some hints of where druids might see dinosaurs: plesiosaurus in the "coast" and "underwater" tables; pteranodon, allosaurus, anklyosaurus, and triceratops in the "Grassland" table; pteranodon in the "Mountain" table. So maybe you've seen a plesiosaurus on a 4th-grade whale-watching trip, or a menagerie traveling up from Calimshan had an allosaurus with it? (The "Coastal Encounters" tables include pteranodons and plesiosaurus later in that book. "Grassland Encounters" include anklyosaurus, allosaurus, pteranodons, triceratops, and even tyrannosaurus rex.) But there's nothing in 5e's literature of the Sword Coast (SCAG, Tyrrany of Dragons, Princes of the Apocalypse, Storm King's Thunder, and many modules) to suggest dinosaurs are native to that part of Faerun.
Hop a boat south, though...
and you'll arrive in Chult, which is teeming with dinosaurs. You can't spit without hitting one of those things. Take a look into Tomb of Annihilation and you'll see. Just take a look at some of the promotional art:

Which part is "probably not" responding to? The title asks "where are they from", and the body asks "Does the Sword Coast have dinosaurs or are they from somewhere else". You should edit to clarify which part the header is responding to.

I'm answering the question asked. The post title is just a summary, and not a great one in this case. See rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/a/6570/23970 for more.

@nitsua60: The "question asked" in the post body was still a pair of directly opposing questions (e.g. "Is it X, or Y?"). Just saying "probably not" still doesn't clarify which of those you're addressing, which is why it helps to avoid being too concise in your header. (The rest of the answer obviously explains what you mean, but the header is not 100% clear at a glance.)
