Q: I want to clear out the info on my old iPhone and not delete everything on my new iPhone.
I would like to sell my old iPhone 5 and need to delete the data without deleting it from my new phone.
I backed up my data onto iCloud. The apple instructions on line say to sign out of your new phone from iCloud. however, when i hit sign out i get a message that says "If you sign out of your account, all photo stream photos, docs and data stored in i cloud will be removed from this phone.
Is that what I am supported to do?
And then after i have deleted the other phone, if i sign back in with the new phone will it automatically update my photos, docs, etc?
iPhone 5

That is right, they will be removed from that particular phone, not from iCloud. See this support document for how to prepare your old device for sale. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
