My 2 iPads don’t talk to each other. They have different ID’s. I have gone to settings to change my email and it is rejected. It is the same ID as my other devices

If you wish to change and use an entirely different AppleID, first ensure that you have disabled the Activation Lock that will otherwise cause difficulties in the future. You can disable the Activation Lock by disabling the Find My service from iPad/iPhone settings before trying to use a different AppleID account:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Find My > Find My iPad - set to OFF
Having disabled the Activation lock, you can now sign-out from your old AppleID:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Sign Out
Presumably you’ll want to keep any iCloud data that is locally stored on your iPad. If so, accept the opportunity to keep a local copy of your data (e.g., Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Keychain Passwords etc.) - as otherwise this data will be wiped from your iPad as you sign-out from iCloud*.
(*) Note - if you choose to save a local copy of this iCloud data, it will be merged with the AppleID that you subsequently use.
Also ensure that you have signed-out from Messages and FaceTime:
After signing out, a restart of your iPad/iPhone is recommended:
Restart your iPad - Apple Support
Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
After restarting, you can sign-in to your new AppleID account from iPad settings - and also sign-in to Messages and FaceTime if necessary. Any iCloud data that you saved to your device during the previous sign-out will be merged with your new AppleID account.
