 * Dear Michaelyn,
 * if you uncheck the option “Allow people to post comments on new articles” in “
   Settings > Discussion”, it will not affect the already published posts/pages.
   To remove comments on these older pages/posts, you need to go into “Pages > All
   Pages” (respectively “Posts > All Posts”) and through the link “Quick Edit” uncheck
   the option “Allow Comments” at all desired pages/posts. You also can set it globally
   for all pages/posts through the drop-down list “Bulk Actions – Edit”.
 * I hope that my answer will be helpful for you.
 * Best regards
    Tomas Toman
