Kilogram is a measure of mass but in common parlance "weight" is used to mean "mass" therefore one would normally use the kilogram.

The difference between weight and mass is only important when you need to be scientifically rigorous. Then you would use Newtons which is the scientifically correct unit of weight.

What metric unit can you use to find the weight of a pumpkin?

No metric unit will find the weight of the pumpkin for you. For that, you'll need some kind of a scale. However, once you've found the weight, you'll use a unit of force to describe it. The metric unit of force is the Newton. (NOT the kilogram.)
