Please speak with your client before you end a contract. All Upwork users have the freedom to end a contract any time, but please talk to your client first because it is always best if everyone is aware of what's going on and in agreement about it.

Is there any problem or any money will be asked from me if I didn't continue a project I am working on ?

It looks like you have 2 projects and you also received payment for both. So there will be a feedback for the work you did.
Ask yourself WHY you want to stop.
The client might request a refund if he thinks that you did not deliver what he requested and paid for. He might have a deadline as well. Search the forum to find out what other freelancers have been told.
The client might leave you a negative feedback. At this point of your UW career it is not really advisable to risk it.
There is no real answer since there is hardly any information.
One of the most important rules in freelancing is that you should only apply for jobs you are competent in and only accept offers when everthing is clear.Once you agreed to a job you do not turn it down again unless you have a really, really, really good reason (e.g. new requests by the client you cannot fullfil, your are hospitalized, earthquake...) and the client agrees that you stop working on the job. Some clients might move the deadline if you ask.
Seriously, think twice before discontinuing a job. Most freelancers can share a story or two about jobs they did not like but it usually makes sense to complete them anyway.

Ahmed: you may stop working for a client at any time. For any reason. You do not need to explain your reasons to anybody.
Upwork does not have any rules against ending a contract. Even if a project is incomplete.
There is a button to cancel the contract or close the contract. You may use it whenever you want.
If you cancel a contract, you keep all of the money that has already been released to you.
The only money that you would "lose" if you close a contract would be any money in escrow for a current milestone. Which only applies to fixed-price contracts. And that is money that was never actually released to you.
For hourly contracts, you lose no money.
