~$ pwd
/home/username
~$ cd Downloads
bash: cd: Downloads: No such file or directory

I run above commands and I can't navigate to Downloads directory neither from terminal or graphical user

I can navigate other directories, the problem only is with Downloads directory

I am using ubuntu 16.04

You, or somebody, has deleted the Downloads directory. What you see in the GUI is a shortcut. That the shortcut's target is no longer existing doesn't make the shortcut disappear.

All you need to do is create that directory again:

mkdir Downloads
