What to do if an insurance company sued me after a car accident I had in which I had no car insurance and I have still not paid?
When I didn’t pay the money I owed lawyers subpoenaed the money in my bank account, this was about 4 years ago. Can they still subpoena my money?

Yes, they can still garnish, levy, or execute on your bank funds (I've seen all three terms used) for years to come if they won and obtained a judgment against you. A judgment is enforceable for between 10 and 20 years in every state which I am familiar with.
