When running the playbook 

root@DESKTOP-NI19EMN:/etc/ansible# ansible-playbook  facts.yml
ERROR! the role 'network_facts' was not found in /etc/ansible/roles:/root/.ansible/roles:/usr/share/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible/roles:/etc/ansible

The error appears to be in '/etc/ansible/facts.yml': line 6, column 9, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

    roles:
      - { role: network_facts }
        ^ here

Where have you stored the role you are using? Is it in any of the directories listed?
