If you fail the class you will not receive the credits for it. your degree will still need to 128 credits to graduate. You will have to check you schools policy on failing classes. Some schools will let you retake the class to cancel out your bad grade. if it is still early in your class you may be able to drop it or withdraw, doing this will make it so you dont get an F in your gpa but most of the time it will still be on your transcript as a W or Drop opposed to an F. My advice is to tough it out and shoot for a C but if you know you are going to fail you need to talk to your adviser.
