I'm trying to have my daughter use my old phone the iphone 7 plus through wifi only so we can communicate when shes at friends or grandmas house, my question is do i need to make a new icloud account or am i able to use the same one for both phones and be able to call/text etc. without making changes to the phone?
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13
You can do that. But, you will end up sharing everything with each other. Often, people tire of this approach. Personally, I would always create a new Apple ID under similar circumstances.

See the data implications below.

Keep in mind that some things available under a first Apple ID will not be available under a new Apple ID. For example, you won’t be able to transfer anything purchased from the App and iTunes Stores to the new ID. And, there are other issues to be addressed.
