Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the SN74LS138N?

Yes. The symbol is 74xx:74LS138 and the footprint Package_DIP:DIP-16_W8.89mm_SMDSocket_LongPads, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the SN74LS138N?

DIP-16, with 16 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the SN74LS138N datasheet?

Texas Instruments publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the SN74LS138N?

JLCPCB lists it as part C352964, with 106 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the SN74LS138N?

Parts like it in the library: the SN74HC138NED-GMIC by GREENMICRO, the 74HC138N by HGSEMI, the 74HC139N by HGSEMI and the 74HC238N by HGSEMI. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
