I was trying to update the workflow for an issue type but the entire project workflow got updated,  can someone please help me, how can we revert back the changes?

Hi Dominic - Welcome to that Atlassian Community!

I assume you added a new workflow to the workflow scheme and did not select a single Issue Type for the workflow when you added it. And therefore all issue types for the workflow scheme got changed to the new workflow. Correct? 

You can go back into the Workflow Scheme in edit mode and click the Assign link next to the original workflow that should be associated with the other issue types. Then on the next screen select all of the issue types that should be associated with the original workflow. 

There will be another migration of issues that takes place with that so make sure you check any mapping of statuses that need to be done.

but what about the issues that were in done status in the previous sprint and now are in a different status?

You can create a filter to identify those issues so you can do a bulk change. Something like:

project = ABC and status changed to "Backlog" from "Done" by currentUser() after startOfDay()
