My tv recently got damaged, the screen is intact. However when you turn it on, stripes appear on the tv, not a lot on the screen is visible, etc. I bought the TV through Walmart and am having a hard figuring out through both Walmart and Roku if it’s possible to get a replacement. 
Roku says it doesn’t recognize my serial number, and Walmart website says it doesn’t recognize my order. What should I do?

You kept your receipt? That'll show exactly when and where you bought it.

If you paid via Walmart Pay using the Walmart app, then you have a receipt tied to your Walmart account. Or you should have received a paper register receipt upon purchase. Or email, if you bought it online.

If you need service on a Roku TV, that would be either the store (Walmart) or the manufacturer (whatever the brand is). Roku does not build Roku TVs. Roku licenses their software to TV manufacturers for them to include it in the manufacturers' TVs. Roku TV  Support page.

Most warranties will not cover physical damage, like if something hit the screen and broke it.

I need to activate my 1 year insurance policy on a damage television. Please.

The warranty is with the manufacturer of the TV (TCL or others). Roku just supplies the software. Warranties typically start when you buy it (keep the receipt!!) Most factory warranties do not cover physical damage.
