Does anyone know how can I install an apk over an existing one? So I have this modded apk but there are some errors and if I don't update it with the original one I won't make any progress. I don't want to lose my saved data in the game so that's why I have to update manually instead of uninstall and reinstall it.

Hey There @Ryo69,
The Original app has the developer's original signature while the mod which we make has a different signature (we can't use the developer's signature since it's not possible at all without requesting from them).
Now the only option left with you is to uninstall the original game and install the mod apk but here's the IMPORTANT PART. Your Game has been made by Kairosoft Co. and there is a way which you can use to save your data.
Here are the steps and make sure to read them carefully (Note: these will only work if your device's android version is 10 or less, it won't work on Android Version 11):
1. Open your File Explorer
2. Navigate to /Android/Data and you should see a folder called "net.kairosoft.android.kingdom"
3. Now you can either rename it to from "net.kairosoft.android.kingdom" to "net.kairosoft.android.kingdom1" (add 1 to the folder name) or you can copy this folder to somewhere else.
4. After renaming it or copying it, uninstall your game and install the Mod APK.
5. Rename the folder in /Android/Data from "net.kairosoft.android.kingdom1" to "net.kairosoft.android.kingdom".

There is no guarantee that it will work but there is a very high chance that it should work and you can try this because if you want to play the mod then you will have to uninstall the original APK for sure but these steps will help you to keep your saved data.

Sorry to hear that :(
any further questions ?
Once I played a modded game called war of valkyrie
Here's the playstore link if you want to check it out --> War Of Valkyrie [Pixel RPG] - Apps on Google Play
But yeah the mod had an error and I couldn't make any progress in the game, so I tried to install the original apk without uninstalling the mod.
And it actually worked smoothly with no problem at all 😂
Do you know why is this happened?

No, it was on another site. I remember now. I think it was modified but has no mod feature.
