That's the way the Free select tool works. The nodes only exists while you create the selection in the tool. Once you commit the selection, and even more so if you save it to a channel, all that is saved is a mask of pixels.
The tool you want to use is the Path tool. This creates paths, that are nodes that can be moved/edited/saved, and one of the use of paths is to create a selection from them (aka "clipping mask" from "clipping path").
