Sea lions are mammals, just like otters, dolphins and whales. They breathe air through lungs while at the surface, then hold their breath as they dive.

If they wouldn't be able to get back to the surface soon enough, they will drown.

Is there any sea creature can only breathe on land?

As far as I am aware, there is no sea creature that needs to be physically on land to breathe, but there are a number of sea creatures that can breathe air, either exclusively or in tandem with breathing in water. All sea mammals and reptiles (such a whales, dolphins, porpoises, walruses, seals, sea lions, crocodiles, turtles, sea snakes, etc.) can only breath air, so they must surface. There are a number of fishes, like lungfishes and mudskippers than can both breathe in water and in air.
