my phone put 2 apps into a new folder somehow and I don't want them in a folder

Typically, you can just drag the apps outside of the folder. Once only one app is left, the folder will disappear. On some Samsung devices, you'll have to delete the empty folder by dragging it to "Delete" at the top of the screen.
