I installed the Monterey 12.5 update today and now all my folders on the desktop have been cloned and they all have the same information in each individual folder. When I made a new folder that also had all the other info from the other folders. Do I uninstall the update or how do I resolve the issue? Macbook Pro 2019 13 inch.

Welcome Aleciafromlampasas,
Are you an iCloud Drive user on this MacBook Pro? We ask because if you have Desktop & Documents enabled, it may be showing you duplicates of these documents/folders on your desktop.
Have you had a chance to check out the Documents folder on your Mac for any additional clones/duplicate folders and documents, as well? We want to make sure this only occurred with the desktop.
If needed, make sure you've got a backup of the Mac before making any changes: How to back up your Mac - Official Apple Support
What happens if you select a random (not important) duplicate/clone folder and attempt to delete it? Does it show up in the Trash and leave the original copy on the desktop?
Looking forward to hearing back, take care.
You can't uninstall an update.
