If they did it smart, that wouldn't be a problem.
All they have to do is disband, all of them except for the District of Columbia.
As the one remaining Federal district, Washington DC would then inherit all of the Federal debt.
Meanwhile, within 30 days, the seceded states agree to form a new union, which just so happens to be virtually the same as the old one, minus Washington DC and minus the national debt.
Not the worst idea I've ever heard.
As for the nation's new capital city... well, how about the first one; Philadelphia
