You will find benches scattered around the in-game world during exploration. Once you find one, interact with it to rest. This will become your respawn point until you do the same at the next bench, and it will also restore your health. Resting at a bench saves the game and your progress.
Pause Menu

You can also use the Pause Menu to save the game in Hollow Knight Silksong. Choose the Quit To Menu option, and it will ask whether you want to Save and Quit. Select Yes to confirm. When you resume your session, you will be respawned at the last bench you had interacted with.
