Can energy be stored in any metal?

Yes. The metal can be heated up so that it contains thermal energy. If it's perfectly insulated the energy will stay there until it's released. The amount of energy is mass tes temperature rise times specific heat which is a property of each metal.

How is potential energy is stored?

It really depends on the type of potential energy, but basically, just keeping an object in a high energy position, against some force, will store the potential energy. For example, water has more potential energy when it is in a higher position; typically it would be kept in a high position by a dam, until the energy is needed.
