Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the L6201?

Yes. The symbol is EasyEDA_Cloud:L6201 and the footprint Package_SO:SOIC-20W_7.5x12.8mm_P1.27mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the L6201?

SO-20, with 20 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the L6201 datasheet?

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

Where can I order the L6201?

JLCPCB lists it as part C262898, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the L6201?

Parts like it in the library: the TLE4205G by Infineon Technologies, the TLE6281G by Infineon Technologies, the UC2638DW by Texas Instruments and the UC3637DWTR by Texas Instruments. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
