Changing the sample rate without changing the sound

I was editing certain sound clips for a custom soundset for a game, and the clips were 44100 Hz and they needed to be 16-bit mono 220500 Hz. When I changed the sample rate, everything sounded much slower. Is there any way to change the sample rate without the slowdown?

Immediately before you Export,
Click on the "Project Rate" in the lower left corner of the main Audacity window and change it to 22050 (I presume that 220500 is a typo).
Audacity will use the Project Rate setting when it exports.

Alright, now how do I save it as a 16-bit wav file? These are the requirements.
All the wav files should be 22 khz, 16 bit mono sounds.
EDIT: I tried setting the sample format to 16-bit float, but when I opened the exported wave file into audacity, it said it was 32-bit.

This is much easier in Audacity 1.3.12 - I'd highly recommend upgrading.
But since you are using 1.2
"Edit menu > Preferences > File Formats"
Set "Uncompressed Format" to "WAV (Microsoft 16 bit PCM)"
Click OK
To Export the wav file:
"File menu > Export as WAV"
