There are lots of methods to create a conical spiral like this. Here's 3 off the top of my head.
If you enter the right equations, you can create it directly with my Parametric Curve FS.
It's not super useful in general, but in this case you could also use my Revolved Curve FS.
A more general method to creating helixes of any shape is to split a surface with the overall shape you want (in this case a cone) using a a swept helical surface - here's an example.
