If I lied when calling cops about dv about some of the other questions they asked (has he ever done this or that) and said yes and now i got a subpoena to be at court can I plead the 5th? I mean I read they can charge you if you lied.

lying to the police is not a good thing.
you should discuss your plight with a criminal lawyer, at a consultation, asap.
many DV victims later say they lied, so the odds are that the police and DA will not believe you.
