Answer:
It's a mystery! Some nouns in English have irregular plurals, I think that's all we know about it (though I'd be very keen to hear if anyone has another suggestion).
We also often say 'fish' when there is more than one; though 'fishes' also exists, it's not as common.
If I'm not mistaken it is called the collective property of noun. We only call fishes if there are many kinds of fish and we call it fish even though the quantity of it is more than one if it's just of the same kind.
Another thing is that there are nouns that are already in their plural form, like people or cattle. So there are a lot of time to realized and discover that some nouns such as sheep are already in their plural form, and can also be used as a singular.

Which are common mistake in English language?
Well, not to be rude but there is a mistake in your question, instead of just mistake, it would be mistakes because it is plural. The most common mistake I think in the English language is sheeps and fishes. The plural is sheep and fish. But when you are referring to multiple kinds of fish the word fishes can be used. Another one is octopuses and cactuses. This would be cacti and octapi. Although, octapouses is getting more and more comon and now is somewhat grammatically correct.

If there is more than one sheep, however, you would say "the vet is attending to all the sheeps' feet."
