Removed the door and frame and was surprised that the studs are facing the wrong direction? There are two 58x68 studs that have been nailed together and placed vertically instead of horizontally. The vertical studs only go up to the ceiling, and the header is 140+30 mm mounted on the side against the vertical studs. Above the header, there is also insulation.
To my question, can I move these studs outwards? I want a larger opening.
And why are the studs placed vertically?

Unfortunately, it's difficult to say anything based on your pictures. The drawing is a realtor's drawing which is not useful in such a context. You need to tell a bit more about the house, the year it was built, and the construction method. The dimensions of the studs suggest that it is some form of prefab house. Not particularly newly built either since the studs are made of pine.
It is difficult to solve this from a distance. It is a somewhat unusual construction of the wall with rather weak studs at different c/c distances. Since the floor joists above are at 600 mm c/c distance, there must already be some form of header above the door. You should probably bring in someone knowledgeable in construction to solve it on-site. It is certainly possible.
But you can agree that it's weird that the reglar are aligned along the house and nailed to an överliggare that is in the air, plus that the standing reglar only go up to the innertak
the överliggare should be flush between the mellanbjälklagsåsarna and the standing reglar underneath?

It is some kind of construction system that is likely quite well thought out and optimizes material usage and strength. Ideally, you should know how it is built. It is probably possible to find documentation online.
