I have two synology boxes with three nas raid6 with BTRFS file system. Can I move the disks to my new TrueNASCore system and it will recognize them? I have over 170TB of data to move So I'd prefer not to copy things over as it would take a long time.

CORE is considered the stable and best performing option for storage (and has jails/plugins as an extra)
SCALE is new (and not as well tuned for reliability and performance) and has all the latest changes to the UI and Apps via Kubernetes containers, so offers a lot in terms of potential (and also scale-out clustering when that matures).

Be cautious, even if SCALE includes support for BTRFS, or could be made to have BTRFS support, Synology almost certainly did not use BTRFS RAID-6. If I remember correctly most NAS vendors that use BTRFS, use LVM or MD for RAID functions. This is because BTRFS RAID-5/6 is not considered stable.

No. You need to copy the files over via the network to get a clean, reliable low risk copy.
