You forgot to include the parameter list in your forward declaration for "copysearch()", so now the linker doesn't know where to look for it.
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl copysearch(void)"


Your function definition doesn't agree with the prototype in terms of parameters.

function prototype takes no parameters
int copysearch();

function call sends no parameters
num = copysearch();

but function definition expects a parameter
int copysearch(int copyarrray[])

The error says it can't find an implementation of line 10.
