There is NO save as such for individual modules. You need to go through the tutorial regarding module creation and such like.
Basically: Multiple modules are contained in a library. You need to select the library in which to work. Once you have selected the library the save in working library icon will become active. You then edit or create your module, when you click on the save in working library the module will be included in the library that you have selected. The emp files are used for exporting a module to a file for easy transfer of modules. These are created by the export module, and read by the import module icons. You need to ensure that your pin numbers on the Eeschema part, and the pin numbers on your module match or the routing will not work.
