That would equate to 288 (every 5mins) or 1440 (every minute) images. You then need to put them into a good software to make a time lapse.
The critical issues are.
1. You need an Intervalometer, It is located in the menus of your D5500.
2. Large enough SD card in camera. If you shoot JPGs then it should be OK but with changing light conditions then you will get colour casts so shooting RAW is a better option. I guess that would mean a 32GB or 64GB SD card.
3. Powering the camera continuously for 24hrs. You really need an external PSU for the camera. I think this may be your main issue. You need one of these.

4. Processing the images and converting into a movie file will need a good piece of software. You will needs plenty of HDD space and RAM on your computer to do this.
Good luck.
If you want help with software you need to tell us what type of computer you use. Mac or Windows?
