When you click Save it will always just overwrite the file that you
have opened.  Do you mean you want to change the default folder when
you click Save As?

I tried “restore previous versions” but that did not fix the problem.  If this does get resolved, how do I reset where the files get saved to, so this does not happen again?

Search your PC for the file named
whatever-you-called-it-when-you-saved-it  (probably something.gnucash
unless you asked for a different extension).  Possibly something like
home.gnucash.  How you search for files depends on your operating
system.

If using Ubuntu then probably something like
locate *.gnucash
would find them.
