Squid doesn't rotate its logs. How logs are handled will vary
depending on your platform, but if you're using a modern-ish Linux
distribution my guess would be to look at the files in /etc/logrotate.d/
and read the manpage for logrotate(8).

If you don't find anything helpful there, you'll need to research
how your platform manages logs.

The short form is that an external program moves the logs to another
location, then tells squid to re-open the logs, typically by running
  squid -k rotate
