In order to even apply for the Apple Card you must have 2FA enabled with the AppleID you’re applying with. So if you could or did disable 2FA your card application wouldn’t go through.
You should login to your AppleID (https://appleid.apple.com/) and add a trusted voice and/or SMS telephone number as a backup means to receive codes - see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915. You can use any voice telephone number or any cellular telephone number for backup contacts for codes via automated voice message or SMS text.

From the article below. If it has been on longer than 2 weeks, you can't turn it off.
Can I turn off two-factor authentication after I’ve turned it on?
If you already use two-factor authentication, you can no longer turn it off. Certain features in the latest versions of iOS and macOS require this extra level of security, which is designed to protect your information. If you recently updated your account, however, you can unenroll for a period of two weeks. Just open your enrollment confirmation email and click the link to return to your previous security settings. Keep in mind, this makes your account less secure and means that you can't use features that require a higher level of security.
