I don't know if the Ender 3's wiring is configured in such a way or if the firmware supports it, but the default Marlin firmware has M80 and M81 commands that will control a PSU. Otherwise you'll have to use one of the many power related plugins here and a smartplug.

But looking at the error, it seems that you might need to find and install RPi.GPIO. Maybe ssh to the pi and run the following.

cd ~/oprint/bin
pip install RPi.GPIO

Not sure if it's necessary but you might also have to add pi to the gpio group.
