Hey there, I'm working on building a divine soul sorcerer and started piecing together my spell list. I'm noticing that there are a few cantrips and spells that are duplicated on my list (Light, Mending, Detect Magic, etc) as well as some cantrips that I believe I should have access to which aren't showing up at all (ie; Friends.) I saw a forum post from a year or two ago mentioning they had duplicated spells on their divine soul sorcerer's character page and I think the consensus was that since divine soul gave them access to the cleric spell list, it just added the cleric list to the sorcerer list and didn't filter out the duplicates. While this is messy, at least it doesn't have any drawbacks.
However, I can't select the cantrips or spells that I want to because some of them are missing. Again, Friends for instance is supposedly a PHB cantrip accessible to sorcerers, but it's not on my list. I remade the character in hopes that it was an issue with the original sheet but the issue persisted.
I can't answer about the duplicates, but for the missing spells, can you confirm you've purchased the full PHB or the spells from the PHB, on this site? Or are you creating the character inside a campaign with content sharing turned on, and someone else in the campaign has the above? If you've made the purchase, you would want to check that your entitlements are in sync, and if it's campaign sharing, we can check that as well.
I hadn't even considered that! I have not purchased the PHB and our DM hasn't yet set up the campaign so nothing has been shared yet. It didn't occur to me that the PHB wouldn't be automatically available to choose from though, I would have thought it would be standard. Is that not the case?
Edit; there's other PHB content showing up in the list, such as Thunderwave.

The free stuff is what was published in the Basic Rules & SRD, which was also reprinted in the PHB. Everything in the free Basic Rules is in the PHB, but not everything in the PHB was in the free Basic Rules.
We also have free access to the races and spells from the Elemental Evil Players’ Companion, and many of those spells were also in Xanathar’s, but again, not everything from Xanathar’s was in Elemental Evil.
I'm also seeing the spells duplication error like Rimmsel! My character sheet shows my Cleric's Unity Domain Spells (currently Heroism, Shield of Faith, Aid & Warding Bond) all duplicated one extra time under the "manage spells" section and four instances of each spell under the Spells tab of the character sheet.

Are you using any homebrew?
Please post a link to your character (and links to any applicable homebrews) so a Moderator can look at it for you.
I ran into the same thing on my Armorer (UA) Artificer. This may have happened because I swapped power armor types and the website just needs to catch up. Try refreshing after 20 minutes or so.

Using a (UA) build, that could be affecting it. Duplication happens after filtering spell list, same as mentioned by christopherjamesmiles above. ddb.ac/characters/32979087/RCNKbU
Everybody currently affected by this bug, please post links to your character sheets so that a Moderator can look into it for you. Not the “share” link, but an actual copy/past of the URL itself.
I have spells showing duplicate, it only occurs on spells that i get from 2 sources. for example, my life domain cleric knows bless from being a cleric, and from my domain. so it shows double. same for spiritual weapon? and cure wounds / healing words? and spiritual guardian. A bunch of examples. ONLY APPEARS WHEN YOU CLICK ON MANAGE SPELLS. GOES AWAY ON REFRESH.
I created a brand new War Domain Cleric and for every spell I "Prepare", the Domain spells duplicate. So the first time I select spells (3 cantrips & 3 level 1) 6 duplicates of Divine Favor and Shield of Faith appear.
Refresh fixes it, but if I prepare a new set of spells, the Domain ones get duplicated again.

Got it! I just went ahead and purchased the PHB content since I've already been picking through adding things one at a time anyway. Thanks!

I am getting the duplicates – seems to happen after doing filtering on the spell list?

My paladin's spell list was alright this morning when we started playing but after updating her spell list on level up, her "Always Prepared" spells were duplicated. https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Dawnsong/characters/32362357
Since that character includes a number of homebrew elements, I also made a new test character, with homebrew disabled (https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Dawnsong/characters/33893178). Unfortunately, this is also suffering from the same bug.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Rimmsel/characters/33767131 Duplicated spells appear on this character.

I'm seeing the exact same behavior.
I created a brand new War Domain Cleric and for every spell I "Prepare", the Domain spells duplicate. So the first time I select spells (3 cantrips & 3 level 1) 6 duplicates of Divine Favor and Shield of Faith appear.
