The "n" keystroke is something you type directly in normal mode, it is
not an ex command (command-line mode). You have accidentally made a
mapping to issue the :next command instead of simply pressing n.
Your mapping should be <C-O>n rather than <C-O>:n<CR>.
See :help vim-modes, :help n, and :help :next
Vim has a wide range of normal, insert, and command-line mode
commands. If you have not already done so, Vim ships with a tutorial
that can give you a great introduction.
