It looks like you are using a too new version of Metricbeat that is not backwards compatible with such an old version of the stack. Check exactly which version you have got installed.

How can I check the version of metricbeat exactly? Also this kibana error is because of using different versions??  
What version i have to upgrade the kibana ?  
Kindly, please clarify my doubts.

If you want to upgrade Kibana you also have to upgrade Elasticsearch.

How did you install Metricbeat? What does the Metricbeat logs say?
