There are few things wrong with this code .. but for answering your question 

You where trying to create multiple instance with same name with this line .."christy.dockControl( 'MyRigShortcut',area='left', content= myWindow , allowedArea='left' )"

that's why you got that error , to correct that you can add condition to check if its exists then delete it.  

import maya.cmds as christy

if christy.dockControl('MyRigShortcutDock',  q=1, ex=1) and  christy.window('MyRigShortcut', exists=True):

    christy.deleteUI('MyRigShortcutDock')

    christy.deleteUI('MyRigShortcut', window=True)

    

myWindow = christy.window("MyRigShortcut", iconName='Short Name', widthHeight=(200, 55) )

christy.columnLayout( adjustableColumn=True )

christy.button (label = 'Show/Hide Joint', c = 'HideShow()')

christy.setParent('..')

christy.showWindow(myWindow)

def HideShow():

    jointList = []

    jointList = christy.ls(type = 'joint' )

    for j in jointList:

        n = christy.getAttr (j+'.drawStyle')

        if (n==0):

            christy.setAttr(j+'.drawStyle',2)

        else:

            christy.setAttr(j+'.drawStyle',0)

buttonForm = christy.formLayout( parent = myWindow)             

            

christy.dockControl( 'MyRigShortcutDock',area='left', content= myWindow , allowedArea='left')
