If the defendant is not the person who committed the crime and someone else confesses to the crime, the defendant should be released. The only exception is if the police have evidence the person confessing is lying and that the defendant is the guilty party. It is the JOB of the police to bring the guilty to trial.

The wrongly accused person, however, will only be released if the prosecutor drops the charges, the case is dismissed by the court, or the judge declares a mistrial.

If more than one person was arrested for a crime and only one actually committed the crime can that one person legally take all the blame to get the others out trouble?

Not necessarily, because those others may be guilty by association. For example, if only one person actually robbed a bank but someone else drove the getaway car, the driver would be guilty of the crime by his association with it and helping for the crime to be committed successfully.
