Select (highlight in Layers) the layer from which you want to copy features,
   use selection tool to select states,
   Edit > Copy,

Note: if you want to Copy into a layer that doesn't yet exist
   then first use Layer > Create Layer  to create a new layer in Layers.


Actually there is no need to previously create a new layer if you want to copy the features into a layer that doesn't yet exist.

You can just use the
- "Edit > Past Features As > New Vector Layer" functionality in order to directly create a new vector layer file containing the copied features

or the
- "Edit > Past Features As > Temporary Scratch Layer" (Ctrl+Alt+V) functionality in order to directly create a new temporary memory layer containing the copied features.

Regards.
