By itself, there’s nothing wrong with the word “ones” as a plural: “surrounded by her loved ones.”
However, “this one” should not be pluralized to “these ones.” Just say “these."

No. To refer to a group it can be written "these."

It's not incorrect but it's redundant. Simply "these" is better usage.
