You can download free apps, but you may need to have a valid payment method on file, even if the app you want to download is free.
Free apps has also In-app pruchase.

See the following Apple articles:

- If you want to change your card, you need to add first the new card, then remove the old card.

fyi: Not all credit & debit cards seem to work with App Store / iTunes Store, try a different one, or preferably a credit card.
If your card is not accepted as a paymenf method, you need to contact your bank.
If you have followed all the steps and instructions and if you still need help, get support from Apple directly -> Get Support or call Apple in your region see -> Contact Apple for support and service or check -> here for more support and assistance.
