I am trying to replace the old faucet on my kitchen sink and thought I was turning the nuts correctly but realized I was just twisting the copper line above the nuts. I can't get the nuts loose and now what do I do. I really need to get this done today! Help please!

Did you use two wrenches or a pair of pliers here.. You should be.

Put one plier on the nut and the other plier at the built up neck of the supply of the shutoff and then loosen in the correct direction.

Let me know more...

I can't get the nuts to turn. What now?

Let's back up...

Are you trying to loosen a copper supply tube from a faucet on one end and a shutoff on the other end?

Not sure I know what you mean. There are two spots where there are connections. One is at the connection to the supply line that goes to the basement where the shut off valve is. The other is closer to the faucet. Which should I be loosening?

If you are trying to replace the faucet then the top nuts can just be twisted off and/or broken off... all will be replaced when you install a new faucet and new FLEXIBLE CONNECTORS.

To save the shutoff and the threads at the shutoff, take two pliers and put one on the shutoff to hold against yourself and take the other and loosen the nut on the old supply. It should come loose with some persuasion.

Install the faucet and install new flexible connectors to connect all this back up.
