Asalamu'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
Brother shuraimfan4lyf, although awliyaa is plural of Wali (guardian), this word has many different meanings such as leaders, saints, etc. But awliyaa is not friends because Arabic word for friend is sahib (or sahaba in plural).
If i know someone personally and this someone knows me personally, and we make interaction, it's means this someone is my friend. Our schoolmates are our friends, other employees in our office are our friends. If we say Muslims are not allowed to take Jews and Christians as friends, this is means Muslims are not allowed to interact them.
From my knowledge, this prohibition is only for take them as awliyaa, but not for take them as friends. Please notice texts in surah Al-Maidah ayaah 51. The word that used in that ayaah is awliyaa, not sahaba.
