Can I drive Uber? having driving license If yes, in future does it impact on change of visa status or immigration.

Currently, I am on a J2 visa with valid EAD. I am a graduate student and recently
lost my job.

No, because as a J-2 with a valid EAD you are permitted to be self employed which is what you are by driving an UBER.  It should be fine as long as you do this only while you have the valid EAD.
