Bryce... you are  making a layer from a  featureclass from a gdb then you do make a selection from that layer finally you copy the layer with its selection to a new gdb hence, the selected features will be copied to the new featureclass in your destination gdb. If you were running this with ArcGIS Pro, AND had your geoprocessing options set to add results to the display, then the layer (with its selection) should have been added to your active map display and would have been saved if the project was saved. Since this appears to be a standalone script, only the destination gdb will get the results of the query and copying. There is nothing in your script that shows how this is running.  If it is a standalone script, then it knows nothing about the project you are working with. It appears from  FeederNumber = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) this script might be associated with a tool running in arctoolbox...  Can you confirm your TOC before and after running this script and whether you are overwriting existing data?
