They are all grammatically correct. Is that really what you want to know?

I also thought they all were correct? Which one is the least natural?

#1 is the most natural. #3 is probably the least natural.

(The first sentence is not really a question.)

What do you want to say?

None of them is a likely sentence in my opinion.

Please think of a context and tell us what you want to say.

Don't just make up sentences. It's advisable to think of a context in which you'd say it. And tell us the context.

No one would ever say "one day he came at night." They would say "one night he came."

1- One cold night, my friend came to my house.
2- One cold day, my friend came to my house at night.
3- On a cold day, my friend came to my house at night.
Note my addition of commas in all three sentences.
