Add a Dropdown-pages field to the WordPress Customizer.
$wp_customize->add_setting( 'themeslug_dropdownpages_setting_id', array(

'sanitize_callback' => 'themeslug_sanitize_dropdown_pages',
) );
$wp_customize->add_control( 'themeslug_dropdownpages_setting_id', array(
'type' => 'dropdown-pages',
'section' => 'custom_section', // Add a default or your own section
'label' => __( 'Custom Dropdown Pages' ),
'description' => __( 'This is a custom dropdown pages option.' ),
) );
function themeslug_sanitize_dropdown_pages( $page_id, $setting ) {
// Ensure $input is an absolute integer.
$page_id = absint( $page_id );
// If $page_id is an ID of a published page, return it; otherwise, return the default.
return ( 'publish' == get_post_status( $page_id ) ? $page_id : $setting->default );

Ok, I think you've misunderstood the purpose of the dropdown-pages customizer type.

If you just want to navigate to another page to continue editing you can use the navigation on your existing page. For example I see the Contact page listed in your navigation. If you click that it will load the contact page on the right side without reloading, so your Customizer will stay exactly where it is.

If you really want to use the Customizer dropdown-pages you could probably add some javascript that watches a change to this select field and updates the url.

How can I instead of drop-down pages to drop-down custom links. Because I used custom links on my navbar
