To play 3DS games on PC using Citra 3DS Emulator, go to File > Load File… choose your game (go the location of the folder with your 3DS games).
To get the 3DS games, you can try to use Wii U USB Helper. Wii U USB Helper will help you download Wii U and 3DS games/DLC straight from Nintendo’s servers. But, in order to use USB Helper to download your games, you will need to have system title keys for 3DS games. I can’t share these with you and I don’t recommend you use illegal methods of getting them.
