:set does not accept expressions and does not expect variables. It wants
option values. The usual way to do this is either use exe to substitute
the variables:

:exe "set sw=".a:w

or even better in this case use the :let statement and access the option
values as &option like this:
:let &sw=a:w

See :h expr-option
