Suspected spam

I keep getting phone calls on my mobile saying my SIM card is about to stop working unless I get a new SIM card. Do you know if it's a spam call.

You are correct these are spam calls so just hang up if you receive anymore.

I gave them my email. Will they be able to use that.

On its own they can't do a lot with an email address. To complete the scam they do need the password associated with the account.

Obviously you now need to be particularly suspicious of any inbound mails claiming to be from Sky.
