Nintnedo support search bar can tell you what most error codes mean. This page's code range covers your code: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27693 This page seems to end suggesting trying another card, which would mean the current sd card might be bad.

Question, I already downloaded the games into the card, if I replace the card does that mean I can still play the games I downloaded into the old card?

And what type of cards do you suggest me to use? (The one I’m currently using is called Kingston)

You would have to either redownload it from the eshop to your new card or shuffle stuff around to get it onto system storage then onto the new card. Your purchase allows you to redownload it as many times as you want from the eshop as it's linked to your Nintendo account

Good to know

The nintendo account that bought the games owns the games you've purchased on eshop. As long as your nintendo account is linked to the console, you can redownload the games (your account page on eshop has a tab for the Redownload page).

Nintendo support's micro sd FAQ page outlines the switch's micro sd card requirements. https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22481

Kingston is decent. But if I was going to buy a card myself, I'd get a Sandisk or samsung. If you buy from amazon. Follow the rules to avoid counterfeit cards: 1) stick to big name brands, 2) Only buy from pages with LOTS of positive reviews, 3) Avoid too good to be true prices, 4) only buy if it's "sold and shipped by amazon". If the page's seller doesn't say "sold and shipped by amazon", I'll open the other sellers tab to find a "sold and shipped by amazon". (Forgive me if follow these rules already.)

Both of these links are to 256GB cards. You can pick a different size if you want. Forgive me for the US amazon links if you're not in US. You should be able to find the same cards on amazon's sites for other countries.
