"Malcolm and Donalbain, the king's two sons, are stol'n away and fled, which puts upon them suspicion of the deed."
At the beginning of the play, Macbeth didn't have any enemies. By the end he had lots, including Malcolm, Donalbain, Fleance and especially Macduff.
King Duncan had two sons: Malcolm and Donalbain. After fleeing Duncan's murder, Donalbain fled to Ireland, and Malcolm fled to England. Malcolm later led the attack on Dunsinane and took the throne after Macbeth was killed.
Malcolm goes to England and Donalbain goes to Ireland (and that's the last we hear of him). They are taking a powder, believing rightly that they will be suspected of murdering their father. Ross, who loves to find out and deliver news, is going to Scone to check out Macbeth's coronation. Macduff, who doesn't like Macbeth much and is anyway somewhat antisocial, goes home to Fife. There he will make a point of refusing invitations to Macbeth's dinner parties.
Malcolm advises Macduff to go out and fight to help place Malcolm on the throne. All Malcolm sees in Macduff's suffering is an opportunity to gain an ally.
Macduff assumed at first that Malcom and Donalbain hired the soldiers to kill their father and they fled to avoid any confrontations. However, it is evident that they fled because they suspected that they were the targets of a conspiracy.
