Yes, in meaning they mean the same thing. Grammatically "I'm well" is the more correct one, however to most people it sounds very formal in casual conversation. So most people say "I'm fine".

They can have the same meaning.
How are you? I’m fine./I’m well.
However, "I’m fine"can also be used to mean "I’m okay." In these cases, "I’m well." would not be used.
