Once i deleted the Folder '' Downloads'' and i couldn't find it. i don't know how i put it back. I created a new folder Downloads but it's not original. Can anyone support me to put the ''Downloads'' folder back ?

The problem isn't the new Downloads folder. You don't need to resurrect the old one.
You need to remove the broken alias from the Sidebar, then replace it with one that points to your new downloads folder. Ctrl-click on the folder in the Sidebar and choose Remove. Then drag the new Downloads folder into the Sidebar.
You probably need to fix the permissions on the new Downloads folder, though.
Select it in the Finder window, and Get Info.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, click the padlock to unlock the pane.
There is probably a Staff entry with Read only. Select it and click the Remove ( – ) button.
For everyone, set it to no access.

Go get a backup going, first. That's the bigger problem here.
Was the Downloads folder removed from your home directory as I've been assuming here, or was the Downloads folder removed from its position within the dock?
Is the Downloads folder still in the trash? If so, move it back.
Do you have Time Machine backups? If so, select it and restore it.
No it's not in the trash.
I didn't set time machine. So, do you have any idea to bring the folder back ?
It says "original item for “Downloads” can’t be found"
It does't says "Original download folder is missing"
SO please try to explain what are you trying to do when you are facing this issue.

The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Downloads” can’t be found.
