    When you update a workflow (either by editing directly, or importing it via a solution), CRM will keep the previous workflow definition, and create a new workflow definition. Any running instances of the workflow will continue to run using the previous workflow definition, whereas any new workflow instances will use the new workflow definition

    CRM workflows use state persistence. That means any job which has started, it keeps a snapshot of that time and will not be affected by the new changes you are making to the workflow. So you can go ahead and shift the workflow.

    You will have to create a new solution. Go to settings-->Solutions, create new solution, add components you want to migrate from sandbox to production. Export the solution (managed or un-managed as per your need) and then import it to production.
