Is it possible with a DD 368 to switch from active duty to a national guard or reserve component?

I’m currently Active duty army with a 6 year commitment and have opportunities back at home but wanna stay in the army just not full time. Is there any possible way to do this with a DD 368

No, that's not how a conditional release works. They are used to be released from the Reserve Component to go active

You state that you are active duty, but your profile lists you as a civilian/recruit. How long have you been in the Army?

Grab a Snickers, because you're "Not Going anywhere for a while"
Unless the army becomes over strength in your MOS and starts offering early outs (not likely today) you will at least do 5 of those 6 years active. There are several programs to let you out a few months early but nothing right now.
