Do I have to swap between weapons and spellcasting focus?

Can I cast any spell while wielding a weapong? Do I have to sheathe the weapon to cast the spell? (would be one action) Do I have to store the weapon and draw the spellcasting focus to cast a spell? (would need to use two actions). What would be spellcasting focus in classes like eldritch knight? Thanks for responses.
