I tried to solve your problem by splitting real and complex parts:

p = 1/20;
q = 1 ;
n = 5;
x[0] = 0;    (* HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH X[0] ?*)
x[6] = 0;

f = Sum[
   Conjugate[p]*x[i + 1]*Conjugate[x[i]] +
    Sqrt[i + 1]*p*x[i]*Conjugate[x[i + 1]] +
    (i*q + (i - 1)*i)*x[i]*Conjugate[x[i]],
   {i, 0, n}
   ];

vr = Array[xr, n];
vi = Array[xi, n];
vv = Join[vr, vi];

ff = ExpandAll@ComplexExpand@ExpandAll@(f /. x[i_] :> xr[i] + I xi[i])

c = Sum[Abs[x[i]]^2, {i, n}];

cc = FullSimplify[ExpandAll[c /. x[i_] :> xr[i] + I xi[i]],
  vv \[Element] Reals]

NMinimize[{Abs[ff], cc == 1}, vv,
 Method -> {"RandomSearch", Method -> "InteriorPoint"}
 ]

{0.998786000742084,{
xr[1]->0.639564303676262,
xr[2]->-0.012868312708188,
xr[3]->0.000106478076504024,
xr[4]->-3.7447230021614*10^-6,
xr[5]->-3.14110125055689*10^-6,
xi[1]->0.768474352348592,
xi[2]->-0.0154612373020706,
xi[3]->0.000128613261347542,
xi[4]->-3.8553915016355*10^-6,
xi[5]->-3.14072792856528*10^-6
}}

Could this help?
