Depending upon the species of turtle you wish to house, you could be OK or run into trouble. The tank may also need to be set up as a Vivarium with both wet and dry areas and possibly a heat lamp for the turtle to bask under. There is much more to keeping Amphibians than simply sticking one in a tank full of water. BTW. NEVER put Amphibians with fish.

Can your 5 inched turtle get stressed out in a gallon tank?

A 5 inch sized turtle is too big for a gallon sized tank. They need more room to swim and the filtration needs more water than that for a turtle that size. I have a 5 inch male red eared slider in a 29 gallon aquarium and I consider that to be the smallest tank I would recommend.

How many red ear slider turtles can live in a 10 gallon tank and is it possible to keep one in like a plastic container or tub if so how big should it be?

Only one, and sometimes a ten gallon tank isn't enough room. The tank should be 4-5 times the turtle length wise and 3-4 times the turtle in width. If you have more then one, each turtle should get that amount of space. The water should be 1.5 times deep for instance a 7 inch turtle would have water 10 inches deep.

A common good rule of thumb for figuring out how much water a turtle needs is to measure its shell from head to tail. A turtle needs five gallons of water for every inch long that it is. So only a hatch-ling can be kept in a 5 gallon tank.
