I think you are after this, actually:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
The quotes make the entire string you were trying to add be treated as a single argument. This way you don't need to mess with escaping spaces (which your command didn't actually do properly which is why it all failed and gave you errors).
Note that you will still need to download the GPG key in use for the repository, as add-apt-repository is incapable of doing that for straight strings like you're adding here.
