Just clarifying that your family members shouldn’t travel if you aren’t traveling.

What if i will change my employer in next 3 months in my current country and i have visa issued on my passport due to current employer?Do i need to update ircc?
IRCC doesn't care if you change employers in your current country. You do not have to notify them.

If you wish to work for a different employer in Canada, then you will of course have to obtain a new work permit.

What work permit is this? If it is a closed work permit, i think the employer will inform IRCC and it will be revoked (at least that's what happens in US).

If you get a PPR and you are sure you are changing jobs. Just inform your employer and try to avoid getting a passport page wasted.

if you still decide to get the passport stamped, and If you ever decide to come to Canada with a new application, the embassy will cancel your stamped visa with "Cancelled without prejudice" and give you a new Visa.

You should not use the W-1 to travel since its linked to a active WP.

If you have an open WP then you are good you can submit you passport and get it stamped.

Their permits are dependent on your permit. If you don’t go work at the employer specified on your closed WP then your wife shouldn’t go work using her OWP and your children should come to Canada to go to school. That would be using the OWP and TRV in bad faith because your family should only be in Canada if you came to Canada to work at the employer on your closed WP.

If you don’t plan on working for the employer specified on your WP you shouldn’t be coming to Canada. At the border who your Canadian employer will be can be verified. Is this a transfer to Canadian offices?

You're fine. There is nothing further you need to do. You and your family simply won't use the visas that have been issued to you. It's very straightforward and nothing to worry about.
