I am trying to setup up Kali Linux on VB. Kali is 64 bit but all I get under Debian is 32-bit versions. What must I do, download a 32 bit version of Kali?

No, it is not. Here's a link to the latest (as of this writing) 64-bit guest, and here's a link to the latest (as of this writing) 32-bit guest.

It depends on what you want to do. What do you want to do?

1) 64-bit guests need hardware-virtualzation enabled in the hosts bios.
2) when creating the 64-bit guest you must select 64-bit in General -> Basic -> version.
3) If running Windows as host you must make sure hyper-v or xp mode is not enabled on the host. MS does not play well and wants it all.
