If planet y orbits the Sun but does not rotate on its axis at all how long would a day be on planet y?

If you mean a locked orbit like some "hot Jupiter" exoplanets, then the answer is; one side of the planet will haveendless daylight and the other side a never ending night. In other words its "solar day" would last "for ever".
Comment: that's not what the question says. It's about having no rotation at all.
In that (unlikely) case the "sidereal day" would be, technically, infinite.
The "solar day" would equal the length of the planet's year.

What is true about Pluto -Pluto orbits is the third longest- Pluto is considered a terrestrial planet- Pluto does not rotate around its axis or Pluto has a tilted orbit?
Pluto has a tilted orbit (compared with the average plane of the orbits of the other planets). Also, Pluto would be considered a "terrestrial planet", but it is not now defined as a planet. It's just called a "dwarf planet" now.
