As said in the doc-string from pyautogui.keyDown():

You need a different approach - you can may use pygame - with this

Or, if you want to stay with pyautogui you can try something like this:

def hold_W (hold_time):
    import time, pyautogui
    start = time.time()
    while time.time() - start < hold_time:
        pyautogui.press('w')
