I saw some koi fish at walmart that grow about 5'' to 6''. Just wondering if a koi fish would get along with my betta. If so could i add more koi fish with him?

Koi grow to 3-4 feet. They shouldn't be kept in anything smaller than a pond, except temporarily.
Koi (and goldfish) are coldwater, the betta is tropical and needs a heater, so they shouldn't have to live in the same temperature - one of them will suffer for it.

A koi must have a pond to thrive and regulate right into a wide length.you may want to stunt your koi's boom because of residing in a small aquarium that occurred to my elementary pleco it lived in my 10 gallon tank for a at the same time as even if it did not anymore better than 4 inches in my one hundred gallon tank. regrettably it died 4 inch

No koi fish grows to six inches. Don't listen to Walmart, I have seen them trying to say Pacus grow to five inches! Yeah right! The koi will eat your betta as it grows, and if you keep it in 10 it will die.

The koi would outgrow the 10 gallon tank in about a month, or less. A fantail goldfish would be a good match for such a small tank.

I seconmd copperhead.
no koi stays that little. walmart is unreliable whne it comes to information about fish. and bettas prefer water temps of around 80°F while goldfish/koi prefer colder temps.
