Tried saving them somewhere else? What program are you trying to save from?

I assume you have tried restarting ?
It happens to lots of people every now and then and a restart normally solves it

Restart Finder.
Or the result should come up if you search with Spotlight.

Apple, Force Quit, Finder.

That would've done it too. At least I think it should.

Apple Finder memory bug been with us all along. The only way is to do what windows should have done. Start again from the bottom up.
