    404 is a file not found error. Either the file is missing or there is an error in the file path.

    wp-login.php file doesn't exist in my folders and codes. Do you know why this file is used? Can I add it now?

    Are you able to log in to the admin panel?

    wp-login.php is in the root folder and is around 33k bytes. I would guess from the name that it has to do with logging in to the site. With wp it is also possible to set up user accounts so it may be there for that reason if you can still log in to the admin section.

    I din't see it affecting my website. Can I block it in robots.txt file?

    Disallow: /wp-admin
    Disallow: /wp-login.php

    Will there be any side effects...

    I don't think that blocking it in robots.txt will have any effect in any way.
