Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the BC557C?

Yes. The symbol is LibrePCB_Base:BC557 and the footprint LibrePCB_Base:TO-92-WIDE_default, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

Where is the BC557C datasheet?

DIOTEC publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the BC557C?

JLCPCB lists it as part C6751353, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the BC557C?

Parts like it in the library: the BC546B by onsemi, the BC547A by onsemi, the BC549B by onsemi and the BC556A by DIOTEC. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
