Linux is case sensitive, your downloads folder has a capital D
The folder is also in your home folder, not the root directory, so you can use any of the below:

cd /home/$USER/Downloads
cd $HOME/Downloads
cd ~/Downloads

And they will all work as you expect. The $USER and $HOME are BASH variables.

Can you help with this problem?
