We have one project with 2 Worksets.  The first workset is fully updated.  The second workset has not been updated in a few weeks, and since then, the design of the building has changed dramatically.  How can I unlink this second workset from the central file to save this previous work as a reference.  And do all of this without reloading?  Kind of like if we exported to Autocad right now from that file, but how can we achieve a standalone un-updated copy by using Revit?

Worksets are not the same as design options.  If you have changed workset A and nothing has changed in workset B then so what?  Workset A does not directly affect workset B anyway.

Worksets are part of the model and thus cannot be un-linked.  For instance - if you have furniture in an interiors workset, the furniture sits on a floor that may be in the architectural workset.  The furniture can not reside without the host floor.

You can always have two files and copy between the two ... you can have a file that only has the building and another file that copy monitors the building file but only has the furnishings.  But this process is not really using worksets.
