Negating a universal quantifier gives the existential quantifier, and vice versa:
$\neg \forall x = \exists x \neg \\
\neg \exists x = \forall x \neg $
Why is this, and is there a proof for it (is it even possible to prove it, or is it just an axiom)? Intuitively, I would think that negating "for all" would give "none," or even "not for all," and that negating "there exists" would give "there does not exist".

The following two statements are equivalent:
Hence $\neg\forall x\ \varphi$ is the same as $\exists x\ \neg\varphi$.
The following are equivalent:
Hence $\neg \exists x\ \varphi$ is the same as $\forall x\ \neg\varphi$.
However, the form in which you've written them is not correct (as pointed out in Daniel Fischer's comment).
