if you are an oath breaker paladin and you die can a friend with a necromancy spell resurrect you as a death knight because a death knight is a dead oath breaker paladin brought back to life
RAW there are no spells printed in any of the books that create a death knight, nor are there any other mechanics for such a thing. As a rule of thumb, most cases of "a PC gets permanently turned into a monster" place the new monster under the DM's control.

In 5th edition official no. In 5e unofficial yes, loads of instructions on how to build one, or use a Homebrew.
using only official or partnered content, this is how I would build one:
(not optimized for 5.5e this would be a 2014+ partnered build)
Species:
Official: Lineages - Reborn or Dhampir (Non of these count as Undead - Reborn is more inline with the tropes of Deathknights, but a Vampy DK works as well. Hexbloods not so much)
Partnered: Shade (from Book of Ebon Tides, pg. 49) - Actual Undead, well half undead, Humanoid/Undead
Partnered: The Disembodied (Not really undead, but ghostly so it works with the build idea)
Class:
Paladin - You want at least 7 levels of 2014 paladin, you can do this with 2024 but some things work weird.
Subclass - Oathbreaker
Wizard - You want 10 levels of 2014 Wizard (if using 2024 for pali use 2024 for wizard)
Subclass - Necromancy
Stats are tricky Because this is MUD as all hells, and point buy wont get you the stats you want and luck on dice rolls is hard to predict.
You want Max Str & Con, High Chr & Int. You want a 10 in dex no more. Wisdom is the dump.
You could always use either the True Polymorph or Wish spells although this then requires you to be level 17 and be friends with a level 17 spell caster but on the bonus side it doesn't require you to be dead first.

Well, that is not a Specimen in the rules, or any other third party books, right? So, I imagine you would become an NPC.

In other words, OP, ask your DM about this and see if they'll allow this "just this once."

could you do this at lvl 2 by having a friend buy a spell scroll

then i would just annoy the dm in to letting me control him
At level 2, you don’t even have an oath, yet. How could you have become an oathbreaker?
”Annoy the DM” is always a bad idea.
i forgot it was lvl 3
