Beta fish lay eggs and she would need a male to then fertilize those eggs after she lays them. Breeding betas can be very work intensive. Here is a link with great information: fishkeepingworld.com/breeding-betta-fish/ As the babies get bigger, they can graduate to larger food. The babies will mature and need to be separated around 3 months of age. The females can stay together but all the males will need to be separated. Breeding betas requires a lot of tanks/space. I recommend to connect with a local aquarium store and find out if anyone has first hand knowledge. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
