How do you unpin UV?

You can Unpin a UV with the shortcut Alt-P . Pinning is most effective when using the Unwrap method of UV mapping, for organic objects.

How do I lock UV in Maya?

Select all the UVs and isolate them (top right icon), then display the isolation set (top left icon) and remove the UVs you want “locked” from the isolation set (bottom right icon). The removed UVs will disappear leaving only the ones in the isolation set.
