Theory predicts and observation evidence confirms that quarks cannot exist in ordinary interstellar space except as composite particles, such the
protons (1 down quark, 2 up quarks) and
neutron (2 down quarks, 1 up). Theory suggests that very dense forms of matter may permit very large numbers of quarks to exist in more complicated arrangements (see
quark stars).
For a
”free quark” to exist long enough to traverse even modest astronomical distances, they would have to be accelerated to very nearly the speed of light, so that relativistic time dilation causes only a very small amount of time to pass within the inertial frame of the quarks. Because quarks have mass, the energy required to do this is very great.
In any case (as composite particles, in large, very dense bodies, or free at speeds very near that of light), quarks would be very detectable. Observations don’t support the hypothesis of any of these existing as significant sources of radiation.

supposedly there are 11 of them in parallell universes assumming the energy source exsists.

I’m unaware of any such supposition. There are
6 known quarks, each with an antiparticle. Of these 12 particles, 2 comprise nearly all in existence: Down quarks and Up quarks. The other 4 ordinary quarks have been observed only in very short-lived (on the order of 10^-8 seconds) particles, typically in high-energy cosmic rays and particle accelerators.
A number of sources, including the several wikipedia links above, provide good introductions to quarks, and the
Standard Model that predicts them.
