Old phone info to new phone

If I turn off and delete an old phone from iCloud what happens to the info on the old phone? I did a back up of it. There is info on the old phone that shows that I had deleted off the new phone. I want that info now. It seems to be on the new phone as I did a back up on the old one.

I want to ultimately wipe the old phone to give it to my daughter to use so I don't want her to have access to it or my iCloud and we get our info mixed up.

How can I clear the old phone but make sure that info transfers over to the new one without losing it if I take the old one off iCloud? I am not a techie!

iPhone 15, iOS 18
