For the record, Kevin Feige outright stated the movie would deal with the origin of the MCU
The thing is Arishem is confirmed to have existed before anything, before the other Celestials and before the six singularities, wich were clearly said in the first Guardians of the Galaxy to be older than existence themselves and the IS were formed from those singularities by the Big Bang. So they existed in a time before time, before anything in fact, and then suddenly the singularities appeared. Now, taking the potential ridiculous amount of plot holes this might involve aside, this means the order of creation was this:
Nothing (like absolutely nothing, no time, not space, no life, no matter) -> Arishem (who spawned there because...because) -> creation of other Celestials (since it's said there were others before the singularities, so they were born before time) -> six singularities (wich include time itself since the Time Stone comes from one of them) -> Big Bang -> Stones are formed from the BB and the singularities
Based on everything we have, the only conclusion we have is that Celestials were responsible for the creation of time as a side effect of building everything since they started to create life, are repeatdly stated in official promo to be architect of existence and even time didn't exist before them since they existed before the singularities. And given Arishem was the very first of them, either he created them himself or they sponthaneously spawned there to. In any case, I'd say they're at least indirectly responsible for the singularities
They have nothing to do with the multiverse though, that I agree
