There are no signs saying you can’t. It’s a low-traffic, quiet residential area; you should be okay to do that.

Much of the Pentagon/Crystal City is governed by PayMobile stations or area permits. Some PayMobile areas are 12-hour limits, which would be ideal if you want to minimize the number of times you have to move your car. (One example is the block of Joyce Street next to VA Highlands Park.) I think the PM 12-hour zone rate is about $1.50-75 per hour, so $18-21/day plus a nominal fee.

Some permitted areas have no restrictions between 5PM Friday and 8AM Monday. Joyce Street south of the park fits into that.

Fern Street between 18th and 23rd features both the 12-hour ParkMobile spots and the free-weekend spots.

Crystal City Shops parking is free before 6am and after 4pm on the weekdays, and is free throughout the weekend. $21/day max.

EDIT: As you move away from the immediate Metro vicinity, your options for free street parking improve. For instance, the 1200 block of South Nash Street is often available and is only ten minutes' walk from the Pentagon City Mall.
