You are a poster child for my opinion that people should only advance to
downloading data when they understand how Money is supposed to work. Only
then do you understand the nature of the transactions well enough to fix the
deficiencies in the downloaded data.

As Cal notes, you need to enter a "Redeem CD" transaction in the investment
account. Redeem CD makes the Investment "go away" and replaces it with cash
that you can transfer to and fro. Since you don't have one entered, the
Transfer you do have entered moves cash that doesn't exist (hence the
negative balance) and doesn't get rid of the investment (hence the
investment still shows up).

Maybe you can edit the downloaded Transfer to get there from here.

If you have an associated cash account with this investment account, and the
Transfer back to your regular cash account is already entered, you can just
enter the Redeem CD transaction in the investment account with the target
(the little pulldown box on the lower right side) for the proceeds being the
Investment Cash Account.

If you do not have an associated cash account with this investment account,
then the Transfer back to your regular cash account should be entered by
using the regular cash account as the target of the Redeem CD transaction.

What is the process to close the CD and transfer the money to a savings
account? I downloaded the transactions from the bank and that was the source
of this saga. Do I not do a transfer, rather a redeem transaction? Where is
it located, how do I do so? Thanks.

If interest payments are made to you as you go, enter an Interest
transaction for each payment, appropriately dated.

If the money is reinvested, enter a ReinvestInterest transaction as
appropriate.

Then do a RedeemCD transaction to account for the fact that the CD
was turned into cash.

When I transfer funds from a CD account to a savings account (at CD maturity)
the funds show correctly in the new account but rather than the CD account
showing a $0 balance, it shows a negative total. In other words instead of
transferring $100 and showing zero remaining it shows the CD account with a
minus $100. Why and how do I correct this? Adding a manual adjustment only
complicates this situation and should never be required.
