App rejected that the different durations of your auto-renewable subscriptions were created as separate in-app purchase products, rather than as different durations within the same subscription group.

I have two IAP items in two different groups (Group A - Item 1, GroupB - Item 1). How can I move the second group item to the first group? I want to make sure to not affect any users by creating a new item in group 1 because there already subscribers in group 2.

If I create a new item in Group A what will happen to the Group B subscribers.

I looked for this issue and couldn't find any solution.

I do not know if you can move an item from one group into the other.

But here is another solution:

Maintain two groups.

Group A already has item 1 with duraction 1

Create a new IAP with duration 2 and add it to Group A

Group B has item 2 with duration 2

Create a new IAP with duration 1 and add it to Group B

In the updated app, offer only Group A to anyone who does not already have a Group B subscription.

If someone already has a Group B subscription, offer only Group B subscriptions.

Sounds like you need to leave group A and group B alone, and create group C. That way, you can continue to offer only group B subscriptions to some that already has them.

By adding an item to Group A and also adding an item to Group B you allow all current subscribers to upgrade and downgrade from their current subscriptions.

Yes, you would have two IAPs for the same subscription; 4 IAPs in all. Therse would be in two different groups and every user, in one or the other group, could upgrade and downgrade within their group. Unfortunately, you need to maintain two groups because you alreaday have two groups.
