I switched to using the memoir class and stopped including subfigures. All of my subfigures now interpret the caption as actual text, i.e. as [caption...], which shows up in the document with the square brackets. How do I created captioned subfigures using memoir?

Just insert the command \DoubleSpacing at the start of the caption material as well. To avoid getting an error message, also provide a short caption as the second, optional argument (in square brackets) to the \caption command. The contents of the short caption will be used when the List of Figures is generated with the \listoffigures command. In the MWE below, the short caption consists of just the first three words of the long caption.
Even if you're absolutely sure that you are not going to generate a list of figures for your document, you still need to provide a short caption. (It could be as simple as [] if you won't be generating a list of figures.) Otherwise, you'll get an error message, which is caused by the \DoubleSpacing command and by LaTeX's behind-the-scenes attempt to create a "short caption" automatically from the long caption if a short caption is not supplied explicitly.
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{lipsum} % for filler text
\DoubleSpacing
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{figure}[h]
\caption[Nam dui ligula]{\DoubleSpacing\lipsum[2]}
\end{figure}
\lipsum[3]
\end{document}
Aside: It's usually considered to be more reader-friendly to provide (i) a fairly short caption header (i.e., one that fits on a single line) and (ii) a longer, self-contained description of the figure's (or table's) contents elsewhere in the figure (table) environment.
I don't think using three different formats for the numbering of subfigures is good. Anyway, here it is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[figure]{labelsep=period,justification=centering,singlelinecheck=off}
\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{rightparen}{#2)}
\usepackage{subfig}
\captionsetup[subfloat]{labelformat=rightparen}
\showcaptionsetup[uniq]{subfloat}
\usepackage{xparse}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\seq_new:N \g_akj_subfloat_seq
\NewDocumentCommand{\xsubfloat}{ m m }
{
\akj_subfloat:nn { #1 } { #2 }
}
\NewDocumentCommand{\makexcaption}{o}
{
\caption{\IfNoValueF{#1}{#1~}Subfigures:~%
\seq_use:Nnnn \g_akj_subfloat_seq {;~} {;~} {;~}}
}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \akj_subfloat:nn #1 #2
{
% initialize
\int_compare:nT { \value{subfigure} = 0 }
{ \seq_gclear:N \g_akj_subfloat_seq }
% do the subfloat
\subfloat[]{#2}
% store the subcaption
\seq_gput_right:Nx \g_akj_subfloat_seq { (\exp_not:N\textit{\alph{subfigure}}) ~ \exp_not:n { #1 } }
}
\ExplSyntaxOff
\renewcommand{\thesubfigure}{\textit{\alph{subfigure}}}
\makeatletter
\def\p@subfigure{\thefigure\,}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\xsubfloat{subfigure A}{%
\rule{100pt}{50pt}%
\label{fig:subfig-a}%
}
\xsubfloat{subfigure B}{%
\rule{100pt}{50pt}%
\label{fig:subfig-b}%
}
\xsubfloat{subfigure C}{%
\rule{100pt}{50pt}%
\label{fig:subfig-c}%
}
\makexcaption\label{fig:figures}
\end{figure}
See Figures~\ref{fig:subfig-a}, \ref{fig:subfig-b} and~\ref{fig:subfig-c}.
\end{document}
The \makexcaption command has also an optional argument for text going before the list of subcaptions, so
\makexcaption[Some text.]
would produce
Figure 1. Some text. Subfigures: (a) subfigure A; (b) subfigure B; (c) subfigure C
Beware of unprotected end-of-lines in the arguments of \subfloat, that are the cause of your spurious spaces.
