You confuse frames and windows. Please have a look at
,----[ (info "(emacs)Buffers") ]
| The text you are editing in Emacs resides in an object called a
| "buffer".
`----
,----[ (info "(emacs)Windows") ]
| Emacs can split a frame into two or many windows.
`----
,----[ (info "(emacs)Frames") ]
| When using a graphical display, you can create multiple windows at the

| Emacs windows.

Those two _windows_ display the same _buffers_.

Sure, cause both windows are associated with the same buffer.
> How to make these two frames independent?
You have to switch to another buffer in one of the windows. You do that
with `C-x b' (`switch-buffer'). There are many different modes and
functions for fast and convenient buffer switching/maneuvering like
`ibuffer' and `ido', just to name a few. Have a look at the docs and
www.emacswiki.org.
