Q: Must the number of odd people at a party who do not know an odd
number of people be even?

Odd people? Members of the Odd Fellows Lodge, perhaps?

Also, "who do not know an odd number of people" is ambiguous. The
intended meaning is evidently that the number of people this person
does not know is odd, but it could also mean that the number of people
this person knows is not odd.
