When electrons are added in the 6s orbital what happens to the energy level of the five d orbitals?

The energy level and the orbit in which electrons would be added are inter-related :
This is calculated by the formula n + L
n : principal quantum number
L : azimuthal quantum number
As lower the value of n + L , electrons will be filled in that orbit first.
L for s orbital : 0
L for p orbital : 1
L for d orbital : 2
6s = 6+0 =6
5d = 5 +2 =7
Hence, 6s will fill first.
