A "stalemate" does not depend on the number of moves. A stalemate occurs when the king no longer has a legal move or where one opponent has a king and a knight or bishop against a lone king. This is because a king and a single minor piece like the bishop or knight cannot checkmate the king. Since checkmate is impossible, the rules declare it a stalemate. On the other hand, a "draw" may be declared if after 50 moves there is no capture AND if no pawn has been moved during those 50 moves. Although a stalemate and a draw amount to the same thing in practicality, they do have different terminology.

What is the maximum number of queen a player can have in a game by one side?

I assume you mean the game of chess. The player starts out with one queen; the only way to get additional queens is to promote pawns - convert pawns into queens by taking them to the far end of the board (row 8 for white, row 1 for black). Since there are eight pawns that can be converted to queens, that makes a theoretical maximum of 9 queens, assuming standard chess rules are followed.
