syncing iphones

I am trying to help my parents. They have shared an appleID for years. Their iphones have recently been synced (no idea how) and ones phones text messages were being seen on the other phone. I created a new appleID for one of the phones yesterday, and today, the other phone is signed into that appleID account. When I try to log into the old appleID, it says it no longer exists. I am stuck.
