I am trying to grow a butternut squash but each time the spinach appears it dies what am I doing wrong?
I'm not certain what you mean. Are you trying to grow spinach with butternut squash? The squash dying will not have anything to do with spinach growth.
Is this Petersfield, South Carolina? The heat, coupled with rain that much of the US has had recently can cause infections that may kill off plants.

I grew my butternut squash in planting pots, as you would for tomatoes. My crop doubled in quantity but were much smaller. No matter how much I watered and fed them, they wouldn't grow any bigger.
I'm wondering if they didn't have enough space. Butternut squash requires a lot of room. Also, too much fertilizer is detrimental. Here are the cultural needs for butternut squash:

Grown in Sheffield England
If it is harvested before it is ripe, it won't store as well and won't be as flavorful as a fully ripe fruit.

My garden was thriving. I have a very small space and my butternut squash plant took over, but I was not expecting some frost, and it seems to have wilted the plant is there any way to revive it?
If the frost didn't kill it, just watering and protection from additional freezing will reivive it.

I have planted butternut, watermelon and black pumpkin on the same soil that was never fertilized before planting. So, although the plants are growing they're also dying, I'm not sure it's because I didn't put in fertilizer before planting. In instances where they are growing, they are very slow and not growing enough to become big. They remain small forever.

I would recommend, first, testing your soil. This will help you to know, exactly, what to add. This article will help you to test your soil: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/testing-soil.htm

My butternut vines are dying back & most of the pumpkins appear to not be fully ripe with green stripes near the stems. Will these continue to ripen as the vines die right back even though colder weather is upon us or is there something i can do towards this. Also should I keep watering them if rain does not come .
They will, likely, continue to ripen, as it is common for the fruit to remain after the leaves have fallen off.
There isn't much left to do, and the plant will, no longer, be taking up nutrients or water at this point.

I am growing three butternut squash plants in a raised bed 2m x1m. One of the plants has sent out two vines in opposite directions. With some plants it is best to limit its growth by e.g. just concentrating on one vine/runner so all the energy etc., goes into the one rather than being spread with several.
Because of the nature of most squash cultivars, with the exception of some larger pumpkins and others, you will wan to leave them to grow naturally. Correct spacing, according to the cultivar, will be the best way to ensure proper growth, as trimming squash will often lead to infection. This means no fruit, at all!
It will be best to leave them.
