It looks like Visual Studio Code doesn't have an AppleScript dictionary, so perhaps use System Events?

tell application "System Events"
	tell process "Code"
    -- selecting window to raise by its title, modify as needed
		set w to item 1 of (windows whose title is "Untitled-1") 
		perform action "AXRaise" of item 1 of w
	end tell
	activate application "Visual Studio Code"
end tell
