:vs does not open the specified file

[jerpint]

Describe the bug
In vim, :vs <filename> should open a new vertical split with the file <filename>, however it currently opens a vertical split with whatever file was in the previous window.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a file <first-file>.
2. :vs <other-file>
3. Notice that while a vertical split is created, both panes contain <first-file>

Expected behavior
After doing :vs <other-file>, we should expect <other-file> to be opened in the new split.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.24.3
• VSCode version: 1.73.1
• OS: MacOS Monterey 12.5.1
