Try with this:

<?php

namespace Test\Xyz\Setup;

use Magento\Framework\Setup;

class InstallData implements Setup\InstallDataInterface
{
    /**
     * @var Setup\SampleData\Executor
     */
    protected $executor;


    private $widgetFactory;

    public function __construct(
        Setup\SampleData\Executor $executor,
        \Magento\Widget\Model\Widget\InstanceFactory $widgetFactory
    ) {
        $this->executor = $executor;
        $this->widgetFactory = $widgetFactory;
    }

    public function install(Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, Setup\ModuleContextInterface $moduleContext)
    {
        $instaFeedWidget = [
            'instance_type' => 'Test\Xyz\Block\Widget\Instagram',
            'theme_id' => 2,
            'title' => 'Instagram',
            'store_ids' => '0',
            'widget_parameters' => '{"title":"Instagram ","numberimage":"16","resolution":"standard_resolution"}',
            'sort_order' => 0,
            'page_groups' => [[
                'page_group' => 'pages',
                'all_pages' => [
                    'page_id' => null,
                    //'group' => 'all_pages',
                    'layout_handle' => 'cms_index_index',
                    'block' => 'page.bottom',
                    'for' => 'all',
                    'template' => ''
                ]
            ]]
        ];
        $this->widgetFactory->create()->setData($instaFeedWidget)->save();
    }
}

I have removed Installer $installer, and $this->installer = $installer; also variable

/**
    * @var Installer
    */
    protected $installer;

Answer 2

The reason to the error is Installer argument in construct function. It needs to be connected with some class like how $widgetFactory is done. After that clear code from generated/code and run.
