unusual to koi to not be hungry....I would test the water to make sure all is O.K.
Remember, koi need 100-150 gallons per fish...so, depending on the size of your indoor pond, your koi may me suffering the effects of overcrowding.
Keep an eye on them to see if they are perhaps picking on a weaker or ill fish.
:My koi are currently kept inside for the winter in an indoor pond. The temp over the past few days got a bit warmer in the water and I recently added a UV light over the water to imitate the sunlight. Over the past few days my fish started acting strange, they are all huddling together in a group and don't show any interest in eating. Today I notced one particular koi pushing the other fish up against the pond side and then started to kind of bite on them and was chasing them around hehe. Could they be spawning? I couldnt find a lot of info online about this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
