Ok, I thought I had done this already, but I needed to highlight the layer that all the other layers were stuck within and release them to layers (sequence). Then I was able to separate them and pull them out of that overarching layer. Now I just have to rename everything again.

At least a couple of them are not Layers, but objects.
Some might be groups.
You first need to create layer. for them.

Thanks for the reply @Monika Gause. I tried the "release to layers (sequence)" and "release to layers (build)" options for one of the layers but both times I still couldn't pull it out of the folder. I also tried to group and ungroup it, but it still didn't work. Sorry if I'm not understanding.
@Met1 Thanks for sharing the code. Do I need to import this into illustrator? Sorry, I'm a novice with this program so not sure how to handle code, etc for it.

The script will export layers into separate files, which is not what you want.
