Any one device can create only 3 separate iCloud accounts. This is tied to the device itself, not any user accounts. Once you have reached this limit you can only create another account by using another device - once that is done you can sign into the new account on the original device.
Why have you been creating these accounts - is it deliberate? I just wondered whether you were doing this by accident when trying to sign in.
If you sign in with an ID which has already been used to create an iCloud account you will be signed into that account. If you try to sign in with an ID which has not been used to create an iCloud account then a new one will be created (up to the limit of three).
