Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the L6738?

Yes. The symbol is EasyEDA_Cloud:L6738TR and the footprint EasyEDA_Cloud:VFQFPN-16_L3.0-W3.0-P0.50-TL-EP1.6, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the L6738?

VFQFPN-16(3x3), with 17 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where can I order the L6738?

JLCPCB lists it as part C2657951, with 29 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the L6738?

Parts like it in the library: the PM8903A by STMicroelectronics, the L6738A by STMicroelectronics and the ISL8025AIRTAJZ-T by Renesas Electronics. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
