New Londo happened first, or at least the Darkwraiths and Abyss occured there before Artorias went to Oolacile. Oolacile was being plagued by Manus and the Abyss there for a while before Artorias, Gough, and Ciaran were sent to do anything about it. It's likely that Gwyn sent Artorias specifically, and Gough and Ciaran probably went after him when he didn't come back.
