It shows kaguya and the ten tails sealed separately. kaguya was sealed and created the moon. Then later in life he creates the tailed beasts. He is kept alive by the body of ten tails. But how can the body be there if it was used to create the moon.

Kaguya, upon merging with the Shinju, became the Ten Tails. As I understand it, Hagaromo and Hamura applied their Yin-Yang Release Seal to the Ten Tails, which in light of this chapter seems to have sealed her Rinnegan. They then sealed the incapacitated Ten Tails into Hagaromo. Much later, Hagaromo was inspired by Asura and extracted the Ten Tails' chakra, using Creation of All Things to mold it into the Tailed Beasts. He kept the Ten Tails' body- the Gedo Mazo- in his body in order to survive the extraction. Once he'd sufficiently recovered (though he was still near death), he expunged the Gedo Mazo, and then he sealed it in the moon.
