Most probably, the fourth one was created as a parent account, distinct
from the other three accounts.

The parent account will display the total of all the accounts under it. 
For instance, if U have "Cash at bank" as a parent account, then the
figure of "Cash at bank" will be the total of all your individual bank
accounts created under it.

I suppose U already have a top-level account named "Assets"?  What I
might suggest U do is create a parent account under it and call it
"Savings accounts".  After that, create all your four accounts *under*
this account.

If your not familiar with drawing up the chart of accounts, then I might
suggest that U use a default GNUCash template and customise the accounts
from there.
