Minor league teams never move. Promotion / relegation only applies to the Major League teams. So your league is functioning normally. If you want the Minor League teams to move you will have to do it manually, which is just a few mouseclicks.

If you want to make one Minor League just move the teams from 2 leagues to the other one and delete the 2 empty leagues. Teams will retain their affiliation. (In the League setup page all Minor League teams who do not have a parent team in the parent league will show no affiliation but they are still affiliated. If you look at such a teams organisational overview you will see the AAA team is still affiliated)

The only issue with this this setup is that Major League teams without a Minor League affiliated will loose all Minor League settings in the league setup. This means no Minor League free agency can be set for that league. In practice this is not much of a problem as the rules for the parent Major League will apply to all players in that Minor League. Only when you would want to set different Minor League FA limits for each Major League this would not be possible.

The only real problem with this setup is that you loose the option to set the secondary roster size. This option is no longer available. But there is a workaround for this issue. Simply temporarily affiliate the Minor League to that Major League and set the secondary roster size. When you change the affiliation back to the original league the secondary roster size is then still recognized by the game. The game will continue to recognize the secondary roster size until you visit the options page for that league again. Then it is lost and you will have to repeat the aformentioned procedure.
