Right, the 0 means mds0.

It sounds like you named the MDS's with numeric identifiers. You should
use non-numeric names to avoid this confusion, like mds.a and mds.b. The
numeric role/rank (mds0, mds1) is assigned to cmds instances dynamically
based on who is up and needed in which role at the time.

The 'stop' command takes the dynamic role, not the name.
Hope this clears it up!
