Is it posable for a betta to swim to the bottom of a tank and stay there?

A betta can swim wherever he wants and stay there.
Do you mean he can't stay off the bottom? Does he keep sinking? Mine are doing this. It's a symptom of a handful of betta diseases

No. all fish need fins to swim. Or they would just stay at the bottom of the tank and die.

Why does your betta fish falls sideways?
If your betta is swimming sideways the cause is probably intestinal gas/constipation or swim bladder disorder. Both can be caused by overfeeding or not giving your betta a varied diet. Try feeding your betta green peas which have been removed from the shell and broken up. This acts as a laxative and will help relieve your fish of constipation. If your betta is not eating, you can try fasting it for a day or two. Sometimes a couple of days of not feeding the fish will help the problem pass. Once you have fasted the betta, try feeding it a pea again.

What's the general environment? If you don't have some source of oxygen the betta fish will try to conserve oxygen and not move around. I suggest putting in elodea.
