The planned 18.02 from Burnley Manchester Road to Euston has been cancelled. Is my off peak return valid on 17:22 via Leeds & Sheffield?

The train from Burnley is to Preston, changing for an Avanti service to Euston. It's actually the Avanti service that's been cancelled. There is another service from Preston at 1918 with a change at Crewe that will get you to Euston at 2225, 45 minutes later than planned.

There is no 18:02 Burnley Manchester Road to Euston, you presumably mean 1B35 16:24 York to Blackpool North and it hasn’t been cancelled as above. Your ticket is valid on the Avanti service following the one that has been cancelled, and you can claim Delay Repay. If your ticket is an advance ticket it’s not valid via Leeds & Sheffield. Let us know if it’s a different type of ticket.
Off peak return, sorry, you said …..
EDIT Valid via Sowerby Bridge and Halifax, yes, should be fine.

WY + SY, for example gives you the routes you want to take I think.

I have come across multiple example like this where the message received online by the passengers is just that the service has been cancelled when actually it is a connecting leg.

The OP's Off-Peak Return is valid via Leeds and Sheffield to St Pancras (amongst many other routes) regardless of disruption, should they wish to travel that way.

Sorry, my itenary was Burnley, Preston, Euston.

I understand the 16:40 from Glasgow cancelled, meaning 19:07 from Preston is too.

Thanks 4 the replies

Indeed it is but I'm not sure its a realistic option at the time the OP is travelling.
