Has anyone ever heard of this before

My mother-in-law lives in a really old house. There’s no telling what’s going on underneath her house with the plumbing, but the other day she had an exterior faucet (cast iron) break off and the only reason she knew was because she lost all water pressure in the house. She called me to come take a look, and I found water spraying from that exterior faucet, so I shut the water off at the meter, I fixed her exterior faucet and turned the water back on. now some faucets in the house are working fine and others are barely trickling any water out. The exterior faucet that I fixed and a couple of others that are on the outside of her house all have amazing water, pressure. Just some on the inside are at a trickle. What’s weird right to me is, for example, in the bathroom, the shower seems to be putting out a decent amount of water, it’s not like it used to be, but it’s a good amount, but the sink is just a trickle, it looks like both bathroom sinks, the kitchen sink, and there’s a utility sink in the laundry room. All four of those are barely putting any water out at all while everything else is not. It’s normal pressure, but it is putting out a good right bit of water my question is to any long-term plumbers. Has anyone seen something like this before you would think if the shower was going to work so would the faucet but it’s not it’s just the sinks they’re barely putting out any water.
