I am writing a thesis with a left gutter of 0.5 for binding.  I need to
landscape a page, so I used a section break and in headers and footers under
the page setup I changed the gutter position to the top from left.  It keeps
changing my whole paper not just that section.  Help and thanks.

In a document of this type, I would not even try to use a gutter. Just
increase the size of your left margin (or the outside margin, using "Mirror
margins," if you're duplexing). In the landscape sections, set the left and
right margins to what your top and bottom margins are in the portrait
sections and increase the top margin to create a "gutter."

If you're duplexing, you'll need to use "Different odd and even" headers and
footers, keep the margin the same, and add space to the header on odd pages
and the footer on even pages using Space Before/After.
