The first example is pitch bending from the sound of it.

The second example isn't so clear and not as distinctive as the first example, it's a very sublte bend.

As for how to achieve it, I don't know what software you're using so I can give specifics.

If you're using FL then I can probably give you one way to achieve it

Vibrato.

Of course, I have no idea what DAW you're using, so I can't really elaborate on how to do it.

Regardless of that, if you're trying to do this with a synth, most synths have a vibrato setting you can flip on and off. Alternatively, you can automate the pitch with an LFO to create vibrato as well.

Is vibrato in the fl studio's library? or do I have to download it?

There should be a vibrato setting in whatever synth you're using. If it doesn't, just automate the pitch with an LFO.

If you go to the channel settings window for the VST you're using, you can right click the pitch knob and click Edit Events, from there, go into the Tools dropdown (Wrench icon at top left), select LFO. For Vibrato I'd suggest keeping the range fairly low, as you want the pitch to have a slight vibrato, not an octave high jump, increase speed to your liking and for basic vibrato, keep the range dead center so that it bends around the central pitch instead of above or below it.
