This photo from this Wikipedia page suggests that metric spaces can be thought of loosely as a subset of topological spaces. Hence, are there any theorems or results that hold for arbitrary topological spaces but do not hold in arbitrary metric spaces?

Do topological theorems hold in an arbitrary metric space?

No, since every metric space is a topological space. That's like asking if there are theorems about polygons which are not valid for triangles.
