My sister, brother-in-law and 2 nephews will be coming to visit local colleges and I asked my nephews if they would like me to run a small 2-4 hour session and they were very excited. So I went to the pre-made characters and got 5 of them and put them to level 4 each.
I have a DnD Beyond subscription since I'm a DM and my wife has a login since she and I play in a campaign a friend is running. We have enough iPads and laptops to run DnD Beyond on each of them.
How do I add all of these characters to a campaign i created?
How can they each run a different character? Do they each need to login into DnD Beyond?
You could get them to create their own DDB accounts. Send them the campaign link, and have your pregenned characters unassigned so that they can claim them.
There may have to be shenanigans where they have to create dummy characters to get onto the campaign that they then drop to get your ones. I haven't done it that way before but I think that's what people said. However, doing it that way is a legitimate way of doing what you're thinking of.

Want to play D&D? Try the following resources first (each section withing vertical bars is a clickable link to find the resource).
TBH, I don't think you need ddb to do this during the session. Create the characters using the best character creator tool on the internet using all of the purchased content and homebrew you want to invest time into, obviously.
But just print out the PDFs and give them a paper copy. If you have books, bring them. If you have digital only sources and can't pint them out, have a tablet or at least save a list of links to text them real quick. But a single 1 shot for people out of town that might have fun with family but never pick up the game after, might be a waste of time to create an account and everyone use a digital device to roll.
The fun is the shiny math rocks and making them do addition or subtraction on their head. Go old school and make it a pen and paper game. If you've played IRL long enough, you know the fun it is to roll 2 d20s with advantage or 8d6 on a fireball. Give them the magical rocks that predict our future. Everyone loves rolling dice, accentuate THAT!
