I have the following line of code:

switchEditors.switchto(ctmce[0]);

which gives this error:

Uncaught TypeError: switchEditors.switchto is not a function

Searching around I found out that, due to changes to the core in WordPress 4.3, switchEditors.switchto() is not available/usable now.

Do you know how can I fix it?

You can see the complete code here.

Unfortunately support regarding third-party plugins is off-topic here. It looks like the plugin responsible has not been updated for six years, however - for security and compatibility's sake, it would be best to find an alternative.

@bosco I agree it would be better to find an alternative instead of using a not supported theme. But it would be also interesting to find out the purpose of switchEditors.switchto() and how it was changed in latest versions of WordPress.

It was a function which executed when the "Code"/"Visual" buttons were clicked in the old TinyMCE editor interface to affect the swap between editors. I believe it was replaced with switchEditors.switchEditor(). Here's the relevant file.
