You are in deep trouble because you do not understand that Gimp is not a graphics vector editor. It is a raster (bitmap) editor.
You can draw, using the paths tool, and export the path in svg (vector) format. Not the same as exporting the image as a vector. Might look like this: https://i.imgur.com/EeYTRst.jpg

If you do have a design made in Gimp and you need it as a vector, export it as a PNG file. You can import that into Inkscape. Make sure you embed it: https://i.imgur.com/odVFsON.jpg
...and in the Paths menu, convert to a Vector https://i.imgur.com/nJ6Y5rt.jpg
Which depending on the Gimp image might not be wonderful. https://i.imgur.com/Gs4IH7f.jpg
Might work if only as you say a 'Sketch' In the very short term since it will take time to learn either Gimp or Inkscape,
Export a png from Gimp and use one of the online bitmap-to-vector converters such as https://www.pngtosvg.com
thanks for the help, for one drawing I will do as you said but for the rest of two drawings for which I havent done anything in gimp, I would still try to learn to draw them in Inkscape
