Visa refusal due to misrepresentation

And will it affect my husband and kids? My husband visits the US
often.

Nobody can answer definitively if it will. It should not. The policy manual does not state nor imply anywhere a person becomes inadmissible or should their visa be denied because a spouse committed an immigration offense. Although married you are two different adults and your applications will be evaluated separately.

Unfortunately however consular officers are human beings with wide latitude to approve or deny nonimmigrant visa applications without appeal and your misrepresentation could prejudice him against your husband.

I think you meant 212(a)(6)(C)(i), at which concerns misrepresentation (not misinterpretation), codified at 8 USC 1182(a)(6)(C)(i):

Any alien who, by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or admission into the United States or other benefit provided under this chapter is inadmissible.

The inadmissibility is not limited in time, but there is a waiver available. The application fee is high (currently $930), and the fee is lost if the application is unsuccessful.

You are unlikely to overcome this without professional legal help. You should try to find an immigration lawyer who has experience helping clients with misrepresentation bans.
