There is no tool in QCAD to create a scale bar.

However, you can open or insert DXF or DWG files in QCAD and there are plenty such files available online for download (free and non-free). A quick Google search for "scale bar dxf" lead me for example to this page:
https://cad-block.com/599-scale-bar.html

This is just one of many sites where you can download DXF/DWG drawings.
