In my manuscript, I need to specify the vspace command in a few places. I wonder if I can define numerical variables for this purpose in an article document class. For example, instead of typing \vspace{1cm}, I would like to define a variable, such as x = 1cm and use x inside my vspace. Ideally, I would like to have multiple variables x1, x2, x3 that I can use each of them in their appropriate places, and by setting them in preamble I will not need to go through every single vspace manually.

You can define a length variable with
\newlength{\mylength}
\setlength{\mylength}{1cm}
and then you'll be able to use it, e.g.
\vspace{\mylength}
