If you already filed your return you will need to wait to see if it was rejected or accepted. If they were rejected you are able to login to your return to fix what you need to fix and fix the errors that caused the rejection and refile the return. If your returns were accepted, then you will need to file an amended return. You should not try to amend your return until the original return it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.
Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them; they are processed as two separate returns.  
Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail.  It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them.   If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it.  If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.

Who is claiming him as a dependent? Will you now be filing yourself as Married Separately?

Did you file a Joint return?  .If you remove him you will need to file as MFS married filing separately.  You can only amend from Joint to MFS before April 15.  

Or how did you file?  If you didn’t file Joint why his ssn on your return?  If you filed MFS and show his name and ssn that won’t prevent someone from claiming him.

There is no status as married as single.  There is Married filing separately.   If you entered him as your spouse on that it does not claim him on your return so your son should be able to claim him.  Is his return rejecting?

Is it rejecting because he claimed your husband?  He will have to print and mail it.  Where does his name and ssn show on your return?

Did your husband have income of $4150 or more in 2018?  If so, his son CAN'T claim him as a dependent.
